Maybe it's the next "Bubble".

God. I hope so. I'm in California and am proud that we have great universities here. But holy shit, I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. They're extremely expensive, will put you in massive debt, and massively overpriced. If I did the same degrees I have now that I found on DegreeForum at my local university or even USC I would've paid a fortune. 

USC would've been:
- $342,592 for a BA if I lived on campus or $302,304 off-campus and travel 3 hours to it. USC is $75-85k a year https://admission.usc.edu/learn/cost-financial-aid/
- $195,924 for their MBA https://www.marshall.usc.edu/programs/mb...ancial-aid
- $101,353 for their Master of Management (similar to my MAOL) 
- $128,220 for a doctorate in administration (they don't have a DHA but a variety of doctorates, but similar prices). 

$768,089 total for my degrees...

USC is a school for the children of rich people. They charge so much for undergraduate 4 year degrees, which is beyond ridiculous. I know one person who did a BA and MA because she didn't come from money. After her scholarship, she still ended up with almost

Love California, and seeing those numbers is another reason I am thankful to have lived in several other countries to know the clear difference between PR and Reality. A bonus is that we have dual citizenship in Germany, considering that healthcare is free–University as well vs. the US highlights how backward our priorities are in the states. Again, I love Cali, touch the beach 3-4 times a week, and still think New York and California are the silliest places to live.

Of course, when in Germany over the next three years, I will am sure to have a moment of amnesia about the shortcoming and start missing Cali.
