The price of a degree these days...

[Jimbuna]

My daughter passed her degree earlier this week and I footed the entire bill but of course that is in the UK.

And how much would that be in the UK?

Approximately 30K over the three year term and my daughter informs me the tuition fees are treble as of this coming academic year so I suppose I got off lightly

Lightly?
The wifes cost just over 10k for the 3 years, then a firm paid for the 4th.
The foreign students however were getting stung for 8-9k a year.

Congrats on your daughter passing her degree, Jim...


We have the same situation here in the US where, from year to year, college and university costs are rising in proportions way above the cost of living increases or any seeming logic. 30,000 pounds is roughly $50,000 US dollars; for an education in one of the fair to better institutions here, that would just about cover a year or a year and half of studies. Even the state and community colleges are hiking up their fees to alarming rates...

You know what they say...
Knowledge is power.

If you want the power, you're going to pay through the nose for it.

I'll just continue to educate myself for free.
