I graduated with an information systems degree about a decade ago, and no employer has ever given me any amount of money for that degree. I have never gotten a bonus or higher pay because of it. Now, I'm seeing so many videos on TikTok and reels lately of students who graduated with a computer science degree costing them upwards of 90K, And they are all packed any huge room with like 20 employers who are hiring for like 300 jobs but there's like thousands of them...

So basically if you want a digital piece of paper that says you're "educated", you can pay $40000 > $350,000. But you'll never get any amount of money for it from employers, it won't help you find a job. It's a myth

My son pays 1800€ per year for his IT education, and we as parents would have paid for it if nessecary but it is covered by our government through ‘study finance’. Also covered is his health insurance and public transport. He lives at home, so without the cost for rent and living he will get through without debt, maybe even some savings when he earns his degree, which is required for him to get a job at the American company my wife works.

This company won't compensate your degree, (I don't know of any that do anymore after the dot-com bubble), but they will give you courses and further training to give you career options with higher pay.

The big universities are built on lies honestly. The degree is about the same value regardless of how much it costs. (Unless you are coming out of MIT or something although I've been told that Ivy league people can be snobby)

They really aren’t, depending on your field. For some fields, connections are critical and certain universities do much better than others. Some fields have an unusual program that give you unique benefits.

But some fields are completely not. My older kid is going into teaching, and

  • connections are not important but the state is - although you’ll get some connections from practicing
  • you’ll never make a return on investment of an expensive school
  • there are schools that specialize, and they’re not Ivy League

On the other hand my niece is going into film and there are literally a handful of universities whose connections are so far above anything else that it’s worth investing ridiculous amounts in that education
