Well I will have to finance this (ing practically taking out a damn mortgage for some areas of the US!) |
I'm guilty of this. Hopefully I can make said boat load b/c after UT and Law School at a private uni...lets just say I was already contemplating selling my left kidney in eastern europe when I was there this past summer studying abroad. |

LOL yeah. I am not doing all my schooling at the uni so that is saving me a ton, but I know I will not leave with less than 100k in loans. |

Ouch! Although I see myself being around there too. :( Especially if I go to Stanford. I figure 2-3 years to finish my undergrad. I am going to try to work as much as possible while doing it, but I have no clue how much that will be. |

140k for a degree sounds crazy

It's two degrees. 25K(UT) +115K (law school). I hope to be making around 70K at least out of law school. It's a low goal but its taking into consideration I don't go to a very well known law school. |

lol if you spend that much, you usually have a job waiting for you that pays relatively well. I know that if I go to Stanford, UCLA, USC, UC Berkely, or the likes, I will. |

and with the way things are now, being practically guaranteed a job is a nice feeling. |

Yeah for sure. Especially if you can go ANYWHERE in the world and do what you want to do. :D |

Public uni is that cheap if you go to random university, but if you want to get somewhere fast in your field you go to something more well known. I find it to be a crock of , as you can be just as well rounded and articulate going to some lesser known uni as if you went to Stanford or the likes.

Mine? As a kid yes, but we got off when I was around 13 or 14. And no I didn't win the lottery. I am just aiming for a goal in the next 2 years to accomplish. Is that a bad thing? I will have to take out 100k+ in loans, but it. The price I will pay to make minimum 80k+/yr to start, is worth it. |
