[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Senior is in a major where the school matters—sigh. So we are forking over the $86k/yr over in-state.  My sophomore is in my major where it really doesn’t matter- just a solid state school is fine.

The cost of higher education is ridiculous. Everyone should be angry at the industry that escalated prices so high—Fed govt loan industry. [/quote]

Could you kindly expand on this?  For what majors do you think the school doesn't matter?[/quote]

+1. Not true. Unfortunately.[/quote]

Education and nursing[/quote]

Maybe?[/quote]

Both are in demand fields where anyone capable of getting a license will be able to get a job. Both of them also have constricted pay bands that mean you will make up the pay difference between an in state school and a private school, especially if you account for the time value of money. The only ways that an education degree from an elite college makes sense are if you have no intention of teaching, your family is rich, you have a full ride, or you care more about getting an Mrs. than an M.Ed.
