Lady in article says $49K debt already but expected to double by graduation. Thats bad news.
Last March I was facing a $150K total bill for doing a 4y Accounting Degree at Rutgers when I abandoned the plan then I stumbled upon this forum. With the help of the people of this community, I'm now in my final (and only) term and 16 credits away from a Bachelors in Accounting! Total cost I think by end of a degree is gonna be $6k. In that time I also been working part-time in retail no problem.
Did I miss the college experiance? Yes. But I don't think I can really miss that much what I never had in the first place. Lot of my buddies went to Rutgers and its 50/50 I'd say when they come back. Some of them love it. Some of them hate it.
I wouldn't change where I am, but if I really wanted to go B&M college I'd guess my first option would be getting huge credits up-front first, then maybe even doing the Amazon thing. Then walk into Rutgers for a 2 year stint.
