But the response seems to be I want to have free college, get a lib arts degree and make millions.

It sounds like conversations with my daughter.
And I want to fly around like a bird, princess. But this is real life. Grow Up.

Between 1982 and 2019: College tuition experienced an average inflation rate of 6.28% per year. This rate of change indicates significant inflation. In other words, college tuition costing $20,000 in the year 1982 would cost $190,301.27 in 2019 for an equivalent purchase.

I walked away for collage with a couple of thousand in loans. (working part time/summer)
My daughter is screwed, she will end up with about 100k in loans.


YMMV
