sounds like a sweet deal. what were the fees like?
Cost $5.5k per year during my time. I did get a full scholarship, so my parents paid zilch haha
nice, pretty cheap really, i was paying that for my kids school basically!
i think if you can get away without the debt burden, it changes the equation a lot
Woah! Are school fees in Bulgaria so prohibitive? Did you have to choose an international school?
This was a private school , but we're moving to a state one now since it's too far, price going up again and the education quality is nothing special.
state schools are free though, so all good
I think college is worth it for people who have this attitude: people who would actually enjoy writing a thesis, learning a new language, learning new skills...
If you don't enjoy those things and you're just being forced to because you're told that's how to make money, I think you'd be miserable. If college is just about money, you may actually find it a better choice to learn a craft. In the US at least, skilled craftsmen can get paid quite well
Well I appreciated the intellectual freedom and headspace some semesters of college afforded me, so I wouldn’t want to deny others this opportunity. My last semester was among the happiest times of my life. I was writing my thesis on the hearing children of deaf people (I was into sign language then); I was learning Japanese for fun; and I was co-leading a college group to serve a rural community in Thailand. Good times.
