Funny you think the higher price tag gets us anything more. I spent 60k to get my degree, and graduated into a recession where I couldn’t get a job flipping burgers. I’ve been on income-based payments for my student loans ever since and have never paid even the full amount of interest for one period because of my income. So now I owe 10k more than I graduated with, and km homeless and unemployed cause I’m overqualified for anything entry and don’t have the experience for things that need a degree. Yay for the American dream.
