education = business. degree = consumer product
Get the military to pay for it...I got my BS degree while on active duty for nothing out of pocket except gas money to / from home to class and books...I still have my GI Bill with 25K+ on it to use for grad school...I've also managed to complete my Cisco certifications while on AD - again, all paid for my the AF.
Education is a business. Their product is like any other comsumer product for sale. Look around and get the best deal you can. You'll be surprised at what you can get from a school.
Avoid what I call expensive money...loans/ fancy cars / dead end education products...If you want to waste money - put it into a index mutual fund and forget about it for 15-20 years...
