Oh, here are the numbers (adjust for inflation):

44K per year when I went there

80K per year now

Who can afford this!?!?!?

The cost of university/college these days is INSANE.



Just during the span of my time attending a public state-affiliated university the cost went up just over 15k per year between my first and last year.


I was fortunate to escape with very little in the way of student loans but others are not so lucky. At least with the school I went to, it's 90% STEM types so almost everybody is able to get a higher than average paying job.
