Education was once affordable, as was health care. Until politicians dug their f-----g claws in them.
Education isn't necessarily about job training, nor can the results be measured in dollars and cents. The benefits of a degree in English Literature or music are measured in something other than $$. As is a degree in basket weaving. Unfortunately, when you hang a $200,000 tuition cost on a degree in basket weaving it undermines both the value of basket weaving and our sense of economic value.
A college tuition of $15,000 breaks down to about $500 per credit hour. That's obscene. Even $250 is obscene. Anything over $100 per credit makes me scratch my head and question the how and why.
We are long, long, long overdue questioning how our education systems come up with such a ridiculously high cost.
