Is it advisable to pay $50,000+ a year for college since the chances of making that annual salary directly after college is slim?
I have recently been accepted to one of my top choices for school, but unfortunately the annual tuition is over $50,000 a year. I would rather not have to take out loans and start my working career in debt. #tuition #education
