The average cost of tuition in the US is about 10k per year.

In states like California, New Mexico, and Florida, in-state tuition is closer to 6 to 7k a year. This is less than most new car prices. An education is something nobody will be able to take from you, a degree cannot get repossessed by the bank, and doesn’t depreciate over time. It’s a no brainer.

where are you getting these stats? I paid $10k/yr 25 yrs ago, now days it's not unheard of to pay $100k for a 4 year degree

@RoxClymer That number is for private schools or Ivy League. Most public schools offer pretty reasonable in-state tuition. Here in FL it’s about an average of 6-7k a yr for public state schools. Not including room and board of course.
