I spent $100k for traditional university and didn't graduate.
Now, I'm finishing my degree via distance learning.
I'd like to point out that he's right. Only few degrees guarantee return of investments.
Other degrees cost too much time and money for small ROI
Studying something just for sake of getting a degree means nothing ...
If I could go back in time, I'll do the following:
1. Take maximum number of CLEP exam credits
2. Take maximum number of AP exam credits
3. Take 1 year worth of online community college credits
4. Transfer those credits to a traditional 4 year college, graduate within 1 year
Seriously, traditional colleges worth only 1 year max
Avoid the debt
If you can test things out by AP and CLEP, do that instead
You don't need to sit through 4 years and suffer from a great amount of debt
The story can be different only if you're from a very very rich family. If you're going to get lots of debt for college, think twice.
