[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d pay $400,000 today for a USC or Columbia, NYU, for a guaranteed admit for junior DS. [/quote]

These three schools have something in common…

These are not unique to these schools.

Master's in social work pouring in $$?
These people made poor choices. 
You can only blame yourself.

They shouldn’t have been allowed to take out loans for that much. You do know that the those govt loans will never be paid back in full?[/quote]
Or as a society, or at least Columbia for one, can decide we need social workers. And they can decide that a degree in social work should cost less. So how about the school reduce tuition? [/quote]

A masters in social work at Columbia or NYU is for a trust fund kid who wants to work a little. It is not for someone who actually needs a career to pay the bills (including student loans). A generation or two ago, that was clear to everyone but a bye product of these schools pushing for diversity and first gen college access is the marketing influencing people who would have known better years ago.

Asian immigrant here, genuine question - why do we need full fledged degrees in Social Work that cost $$$'s? Can't social work knowledge acquired by an elective class, enrichment lectures, internships ?  [/quote]

You can work as a social work with a BS in social work (usually offered by state schools).[/quote]
