yeah but calstate is 7k. so 28k total v. 250 k. for ivy tuition is an actual substantial difference. i would say you would get a better shot at a decent life with a cal state degree and 220k in cash, than an ivy degree. in fact, ion average for most kids, i am absoltuely positive of it. individual mileage will of course vary.
now i did not think this way back in 1980 when i was filling out college apps. Iw as thinking, lemme go to the fanciest most prestigious namebrand place so when people hear the name of the school, they go, shoot, dude must be smart.
fat lot of good it does for most of us. its a fools game.
no disrespect to people paying to send their kids. they may be the exception. it’s just, well, my eprsonal experience heavily colors things. i have friends who went to work consulting or doing wall street type gigs back then. keep in mind, thats no guarantee either. there’s plenty of washouts…
also, i paid through the nose for a fancy law school and i am still paying off loans 20 years later.
i am liek a guy who has been burnt. you gotta be cautious with tuition money…
shoot. my ivy league tuition was more in 1985 than cal state today.
