Most people will also never see a $300k+ salary let alone have $160k to drop on a degree.
Please dont use your personal anecdote to belittle others.
It's perfectly valid to criticize people complaining (including petty complaints about UMPI in general) and being ungrateful about an EXTREMELY cheap bachelor's degree that in the past would cost 10x more if done on campus or through traditional means online.

I never said it wasnt valid to criticize people.
You can say what you want, and so can I. It is not my fault if that makes you look out of touch.

I just don't function in a worldview of delusion. I am sorry but if 200 dollars in 2024 is a bridge too far for a 4-year college degree, then you really need to rethink where you screwed up in life (or why you function with a lifeline of entitlement and excuse making).

Again, most people in the US live paycheck to paycheck, minimum wage is $7.25/hr, and the guy who won the presidency said he would lower the cost of eggs which currently cost $4/dozen.
Idk why you feel the need to belittle people who dont make enough money that they can easily fund education. It has very little to do with the actual purpose of this post.
