My wife used the WUE to go to Wyoming. She ended up with a total of 20k in student loans for 4.5 years. While her friends all went to Oregon State and U of O and were all saddled with nearly 70k in student loans. 

Nice. Yeah I believe it. That’s what I’m saying. There’s bargains to be had in that program in some pretty cool spots. If UO is charging out the ass just go elsewhere. It’s not exactly Princeton.

Yep. Same with the WICHI for grad school and the WAMI for med school. My Fraternity Brother got into WAMI and got through Med school with only 40k in student loan debt, and I believe he got that written off by practicing in Wyoming for 2 years after his residency. 40k is unheard of for medical school. Most of those messianic psychopaths come out with a full on mortgage in debt.

No fucking idea what point you think you’re making with this reply. 

The point is I don’t need child care if I don’t have a job because my job was exported overseas.   Nor does education help as India and China have boatloads of cheap engineers.  
 

the moment them Dem party pulls their head out of their ass and realizes they lack a policy for the working man the better of they will be.  Currently they are the Rockefeller Republican Party.

That's a surprise to both my parents.

Probably because it ended in the early 60’s in CA.

Lol...1 school...and a proposal.  It wasnt free.  I had 2 parents attend Northern Illinois and 3 aunts attend Purdue - all in the 50s and 60s.  There was less debt then for 2 reasons - 1) different mindset (people actually save money, even when they didnt have very much)and 2) yes, education costs have risen far faster than incomes.  Which is not carte blanche to borrow without thinking then expect somebody else to pick up the tab.  Go to a place you can afford (still plenty of them out there) or be prepared to work your ass off to pay it.

Wasn’t 1 school.  The entire UC system was Tuition free if you could get in for the 50’s and early 60’s.  You are just displaying your ignorance at this point.

Sorry, you misspelled, “the government subsidized public college tuition and then ended that practice and went to a for-profit model that resulted in a 300% increase in tuition costs from the Boomer generation to Gen Z.”

My example of tuition costs in public schools at the 3rd largest state in the US was illustrative, not comprehensive.  CA had the same model.

  You’re a fucking shitposter

You are right so why engage?

There's 48 other states, ya know.

 

Example: Texas.  Although I did not live here until college nor attended a public school, the UT and A&M schools were dirt cheap, but it had nothing to do with the feds subsidizing anything, or even the state government.  It had everything to do with the ridiculously large, oil-fueled educational endowments the 2 systems have.  And those tuitions continue to be low for the same reason.  So if I'm displaying any ignorance, I'm assuredly not alone in that boat.

 

 

Try to have a nice day.

Just use WUE and have them go to like UMontana or NAU or something for a lesser cost. Humboldt may even give resident tuition to everyone these days. That place is cool af and cheap relatively speaking. 
 

doesn’t UO offer merit scholarships? Idk. If not lots of private obscure scholarships out there. Never too early to start digging for the free money. 

“Hey, I see you’re suffering from an institutional problem, there. Care to hear some proposals for individual, self-help“?
 

none of this is about me. You people are the last humans on earth I would go to for financial/educational advice.

This post ought to slide into your mentions. I can only write for myself, of course, but unlike @RSF, who loves to poke the bear, I, and I’m pretty damn sure many other posters on this forum, simply avoid interacting with you. Your posting method is toxic. This will be maybe the 100th time somebody has pointed that out to you, and your reply, as always will be that if they weren’t such meanies, you’d post like a normal person. Having witnessed you here and on the old MWC forum (in your thankfully brief time there) across at least 2000 posts, that statement will be as untrue now as it was the first time you tossed it out.

I don’t know what provokes you to rage at almost every post/poster who dares disagree with you, but it’s a problem. You should try harder to be civil. A healthy dose of introspection will help.
