This guy was afforded the luxury of not having to pull out student loans. Of course this guy sees nothing wrong with the tuition... because he isn't paying for it. Kids who have parents who can pay for their education don't realize the value of the dollar until they are cut off and on their own.

Apparently Georgetown didn't prepare this numbskull to do basic math. He's investing $312,000 to get back $55,000 a year. Where he could invest just $36,000 over 4 years and make $40,000 a year. So he invested an extra 272,000 to make an extra $15,000 per year. That don't add up. At the school costing just $36,000 you're making your investment back in one year. For the marginal extra 272,000 dollar investment it will take you 18 years at that rate to recoup your investment. In conclusion, this dude is a moron. That's an 1,800% difference. Sure, his income will project at a faster rate over the long run and that will eat up some of the difference; but we're still talking about being under water many times over versus the cheaper alternative.

What I think is going to end up happening with both student loans and other government financial aid is that the offer of such assistance will be dependent upon what major the student pursues. In other words, a student who pursues a nursing or engineering degree would be more likely to be offered financial aid than a student who wants to major in Art History.

Um... trade schools, community colleges, and state universities. Stay away from private universities if you’re low income.

The internet has made delivering a curriculum so affordable for these institutions, yet many refuse to offer online programs and sell kids the college dream of partying for four years so they live on or near campus. Schools should be slashing prices, not constantly raising fees. Dont even get me started on the professors that insist you purchase a new edition textbook they coauthored. So lucky I went to community college and then in state school.

Something they fail to mention about the people they interviewed, their majors. It makes no sense to be paying 70k a year to get a degree in history or something equally useless when it comes to potential income after graduating. The second one really bothered me as they didn't mention what her degree ultimately was and the fact that she went to a private school she couldn't afford instead of a public one even after the government granted her what could have been up to 60k+ to cover the difference. They mention how 1/3 of her income goes to her 34K in loans per month, but doesn't say how much that actually is. As someone who paid off my own student loans that started at 27k, my monthly payments were just under 400$. Hers should be somewhere around 600-650$. So she has a job in the "pharmaceutical industry" making only 25K a year? They never mention any critical specifics regarding any of the graduates or the student interviewed and are trying to paint this picture like their individual choices helped put them in the spots they're in. College is worth it if you are practical about it. Go to a school you can afford or limit the amount of debt you take on by not going out of state or to a private university where the degree is worth no more than a public university. Don't spend more per year on a degree for a field that has an average income lower than your yearly cost of attendance (would honestly say the 4 year's cost but there are some like becoming a doctor that can get ridiculously expensive and their earning potentials vary dramatically depending on experience and subfamily). It's fine if you have a passion for the arts or something, but unless you have ridiculous talent and connections, it isn't something you should be trying to make a career out of.

As Europeans, middle class pays 70% tax in total of their own property and income, the rich even more. Americans do have a crisis of unaffordable housing and student debt, but Finland and other countries in Europe have a huge problem with purchasing power and lack thereof. Most of university students here do have to take out loans as well, for example I'll be around $12000 in debt when I finish college. Trust me, America is a pretty neat and free country to live after all.

Absolutely not. No way. No way is it worth the debt. Not anymore. I don't care what the school or the major. Pay cash or avoid college altogether. The debt is no longer worth the risk.

I did not get a degree, but joined the workforce right after high school... it took 20 years of "paying my dues" in low wage positions while I learned the skills to compete for better paying jobs. There was no tuition debt - but it took a long time to climb the ladder. People who take on tuition debt, typically reach that higher pay level much faster. The bottom line is this: You will pay one way or the other. Pay with your time, or pay with your money... you will still pay. *NOTE - All degrees are not created equally. A drama major will not make the same as a Petroleum Engineer. Choose wisely.

No - I worked hard, got consistent increases in salary, and learned job skills along the way. Yes, it took a long time... but if you choose to go in to debt, you will spend a long time paying it off. In the end - one must choose the burden you wish to carry. Pay now, or pay later... you will still pay.

I went to college a long time ago, when I didn't have to borrow much. If I were just going to college now I wouldn't do it in the U.S. I would probably do it in Germany.

....? And most of them will only get a part time jobs in McDonald! 😌😌😌

Absolutely ridiculous...GREED

I graduated with 10k in debt. I paid it all off in less than a year (I was lucky enough to be able to live with my parents during that time - though I still had all personal bills including insurances). It's possible. Just takes a lot of financial discipline...

Getting accepted into a prestigious school is not an honor but a curse; specially if you intend to study to earn more money and get into debt is akin to wanting to lose weight by eating only fast food and then rationalizing that in that way you gonna lose more weight.

This is all just really sad. It's no wonder that universities throughout the US are seeing declining numbers in student enrollment.

Jeez. I could never imagine my family saving up to help me go to college. You’re lucky. I had to put myself far into debt but my family also wants to know when I’m giving them grandkids. Probably never since I’m in so much debt!

Thank you education system, you taught us how to be broke! 😄😅 We "owe" it to you!

$78,000 a year is an absolute joke. So 4 years of college costs him $312,000. Putting that money into a modest +6%/year investment fund will yield $18,000/year, that’s $1500/month without doing ANYTHING.

Ron S. Yup, if he get out to work a full time job and let the interest sit still in the bank he could benefit from the effect of compound interest, which make the money grow even faster. And if he got fired or unemployed for any reason he can still always rely on that $1500/month for basic needs until he get a new job without having to go into credit card debt. Spending more than $30,000 for a degree is just plain stupid unless you are pursuing a medical doctor, lawyer, or engineering career.

Here's food for thought. Go to community college for the first two years. Don't go to those big expensive universities. Transfer over and complete the degree. That's what I did. I did receive financial aid. I'll admit it. But I now pay higher taxes back into the system. And in the long run will pay more back than what the government lended me. And I chose something that I know will get me a job and steady income. Not some liberal studies, art, or other area where I'll struggle to get a job. Don't do what you want to do. Do what will bring you some income and less worry in the future. If you do a career that pays little the more stress you'll have even if you happy.

What a joke, you should only being paying that kind of money if you go to a medical or law school. I went to Michigan State, paid roughly 12k a year and it worked out great!!

For me I went to a medium public university in Texas. My mother was a single mom so she didn't save up for college my family just said I'll get a scholarship because I'm smart. I didn't qualify for a lot of financial aid because my mother is a nurse. Now I have a Bachelor's and over 60 grand in student loans. I have to get ready for graduate school so I could hopefully find a sufficient career.

Yet she can get those ridiculous nails done

I made 55k right out of a state school about three hours north up 95 from Georgetown at about 10k for my final two years. I did my first two years at a county college at about 3k per year.

This is not "America's problem" This is the problem of people who failed to work while in college and incurred crippling debt to borrow to pay their living expenses while in college. It's an expensive way to prolong adolescence that guarantees indentured servitude to the US government to repay the loans. When they finish the servitude they will be solid conservatives.

$78,000 a years tuition! Damn! The only one making money off that education is the school lol.

But then goes on to say Average Income is 55,000/per year 01:34 (which is barely enough these days after taxes and 401K contributions). Georgetown costs 78K per year 00:27. Do any of these kids know basic math? How are they going to pay over 200K with 55K/per year job unless they are planning to delay buying homes and having families into their mid 40s?

Your comment cracked me up! Hahha

4 year schools are nowhere near worth what you pay for it. 100k for an education that you were told you needed to be successful. Now you're struggling to pay back what you owe. Its sad man hopefully people smarten up soon. I know I had to. Switched from my 4 year school to a community college. Basically free with financial aid besides books and I get to work while going to school. Even if I wasn't getting aid I would be able to afford it while working which is great.

You still have to compete with your Uni peers too....

Someone with six figure debt for a bachelors is a major outlier (I'd still be in favor of writting off that debt). It is annoying how news reports like this tend to talk about the most extreme and, in many cases, the most unsympathetic cases. The real face of student debt crisis is the person who did go to community college and state school and worked while studying and still ends up with 10k, 20k, 30k in debt as a millstone around their neck. One can moralize all they want about debt but when we multiple this situation a few million times over, we see social and political instability, demographic disaster and economic stagnation in our future.

The young man thinks a 4 year undergrad degree that costs $320,000 and nets a starting job salary of $55,000 is "fair". Spoken like someone whose parents paid for their school. With much less expensive schools that nets you a similar starting salary that statement is laughable.
