[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe one of the things we need to focus in is lowering the cost of education. It just seems crazy to me that people have to figure out how to pay ridiculous amounts of money for an education that... well is no necessarily worth it in my opinion. 
What are they going to get that we did not get 20 years ago except a bigger bill. And I think it's a bit much for anyone tell anyone that they have to finance grad school for their kids, whether they can afford it or not. At some point, baby bird needs to leave the nest.[/quote]

I paid for grad school on my own.  I had worked a couple years when I decided to go for a master's.  At that point, I decided to go the state school route(Mason) because I didn't feel that paying 4X the cost at GW., Georgetown or American was worth it in the long run.  Wound up getting some tuition assistance (continued working FT while attending class at night) plus put some on credit.  Probably should have applied for loans, but what a pain in the ass all THAT paperwork is.  Paid them off pretty quickly anyway.[/quote]
