Westside Steve Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Somebody who gets an MBA and can't pay off his student loan is probably not using the degree all that wisely. But I get it everybody wants something for nothing. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's been a major change in the last two years. Degrees in demand are still in demand. Exploding student loan debt is still an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS Yeah those are the top programs with the best networking, professors, etc. But we're talking $140k plus for Chicago, Michigan, Etc. I'd love to... But fuck that's a lot of debt.

If that's not the case then it's probably not worth the expense. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is because this economy favors workers and they can be more selective about where they want to go instead of having to take the first available job because jobs are in such short supply.

Sure I'll bet on me... But it's still a lot. I could alternatively go to BW for $30k-ish, get the degree, check the box and learn something too. Just won't be as prestigious and stuff There's a debate about how much it really matters. Compelling arguments on both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one question should be if it's not for Success then how much should Joe Blow the taxpayer pay for Prestige? And I guess I kind of understand the networking thing oh, somebody that has a theater degree from NYU is probably rubbing elbows with people who will be successful, as opposed to the University of Akron. Not that the guy from NYU is any more talented but when your classmates turn out to be Stars... WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of graduate level degrees shouldn't really get any taxpayer support. The issue is with undergrad degrees, which are pretty much necessary. Now these graduate degrees still have the problem of a rapid increase in tuition, but they're much more optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm telling you there hasn't really been any major change in degreed professional level hiring, at least within what I know (engineering) since Trump took over. Again, at least based on everything I'm seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
