Message: [QUOTE="FairwayFlyer, post: 4162354, member: 4332"] I've never understood the correlation between high tuition costs and earning potential. I'm 35, got my bachelor's from a meh university and earned my master's from a meh university. My undergrad cost with room and board was around $15,000 a year and my master's was about 18k total. I never took out student loans. I've traveled the world on a Fortune 500's dime while earning a six figure salary. I also happen to serve on the board at the GWU School of Business. Parents need to stop burdening their children w senseless debt just so they can brag that their kid goes to X school. I've hired over 100 people, and I've never asked or cared where anyone went to school. Additionally, I've never been asked in an interview about where I've gone to school. These universities profit off the falacy that their education is going to open doors that others school won't. In most cases, this isn't true. [/QUOTE]
