      40k? In USD or in Warhammer? Cause that’s a shite ton of money for college.

      What did you study btw?

      Also, I am great full to live in a shit hole country right now given that bill

        40kUSD is nothing compared to some STEM degrees - especially at the masters level. PhDs can often be funded and not cost the student though (only in lost time…and mental health…)

        Social work. And it’s laughable considering that social workers and mental health professionals generally don’t make a lot of money. I have no regrets getting it, just wish it was cheaper.

      My bachelor was around 12k and if I did it faster it could have been cheaper. Wgu does it based on term not credit hour. The more courses you pass in a term the cheaper it is overall.

        There was literally no way for my master’s to cost less, so I am not sure what your point is. It’s a minimum 2-year program. It’s how it’s designed. Not all degrees are like that, but in my case I paid the least amount possible already.

            Literally picked the cheapest school I could find for my degree. Again, not sure what I could have done differently here.
