[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the 4 year tuition cost of decent school? 75k? 80k?

Notice I said decent and not great.

A great school will cost over 100k easily.[/quote]

Who cares?? I graduated George Mason in 2008 and Mke 280k/yr. I'm so glad I went to GMU, I have so many local contacts through the alumni network. A great school means very little and as a hiring manager myself I care absolutely not even an ounce where you went to college.

I have kids, I have a SFH, I have ZERO school debt and with two of us (my DH was UVA) we make over 500k/yr.[/quote]

Many talented, hard-working individuals are not as fortunate as you are.  Do not assume that your experience is reflective of the economy as a whole. A good education and a good work ethic do not necessarily translate into 280K a year in the job market. Luck -- good and bad -- plays a huge role.[/quote]

Also there are just some jobs (most really) that will never pay that much, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t worth doing or that we don’t need talented hard working people to fill those jobs.[/quote]
