I graduated in the late 70s 2 years community college 2 years at a "university" total cost all in was about 5K Got my CPA and away I went. People over the years said CPA how boring why did you pick that? i replied because I could earn a living and I had 6 job offers from the "big eight" CPA firms before I graduated. My circle of friends in college at the time were astonished I was making 20 K out of the box. My Dad never made 30 K in his life as a highly skilled machinist. They were studying economics, poly sci , marketing, liberal arts (whatever the F that is? Music etc etc. As I posted before my wife and I paid about 250K putting two kids through university. Would I be pissed they forgive student loans. Let me think Yesssss.
