I got into the #15 school but I didn't want to go there because I was 99% sure that the only reason was that I was a 3rd generation legacy, and both my grandfather and great grandfather had donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to them throughout the years. That and it was too large of a school imo.
What was the top 15 that you left? |

That guy is entirely right. Throughout my 4 years at U of R, total costs went from about 41-46,000 per year. I know many of my classmates who have still yet to land a decent job (I graduated in 2009). Unless you have a special skill, or a select few types of degrees, even a diploma from Harvard isn't a ticket to success. I even know people from my class who went to my school undergrad and then my school's graduate school of education, and are now making less money than I do. It's pretty ing frustrating the "value" of these diplomas compared to what they're actually worth in the real world. Sure, it's a nice thing to hang on your wall, but with the ever increasing number of students going to institutions of higher education, it's most certainly not the guarantee of a successful career as it once was. |

| This seems to be the big trend this year in technical / libertarian crowds, talking about the worthlessness of college. Most of the babble strangely coming from ing people who went to college, LOL. |

Just tried to buy some from Officeworks on my Visa Debit card. Wouldn't go through, so I check the account. All good, money on the account. So what the ?
Card numbers ended up being compromised, and some er tried to buy $450 worth of something on Amazon UK.
Bank caught it though, and blocked the transactions/cancelled my card number. Thanks, ANZ! :gsmile: |

I don't find that surprising considering many students are now over $200,000 in debt with nothing to show for it. |
