[quote=Anonymous]A $240,000 college degree is more important if you plan on law or business school, or if you want to get a PhD and work in academia. The pricey degree makes less sense of you plan to go into a profession like teaching, fine arts or social work, where your credentials are not going to be judged so much. If you have to take on lots of debt for this $240,000 degree -- and I think we've established that it's necessary for many families in this area, including many Bethesda families -- then the equation makes even less sense. Why take on student debt that is going to be a crushing burden, if you're aiming for a low-paying job in an environmental not-for-profit after graduation? It sounds like some of you never have to make these calculations. But plenty of other middle class families do, even DCUM "middle class" which seems to be something like $250,000k/year.[/quote]
