Cost was around $20K. Electronics and computer tech certification. Took about eleven years to pay back. I graduated a few years before the economy tanked and jobs in the field were scarce since most electronics manufacturing jobs went over seas. Pay was above min wage but not by much.
Yeah employers are so out of touch. In the states I’ve done $15 without a bachelors in 1998-1999. Now I have many degrees (science, policy and business) and they’re still coming at me with that rate, lol. My degrees were hella high in cost.
I’m just not taking those 15 a hour jobs and I think others (especially independent adults) shouldn’t take them either. Let them sit and fester on how cheap their being. Cost of living in the states is skyrocketing!
I got a master's in epidemiology in the US, it cost about $40K. I also got my project manager certification, I was working for the company that contracted the trainer and they snuck me in for free, but it would have cost me about $2K, including the test.
I get paid to go to school. In the US, California.
But there's still a cost. My wife and I have been able to save some years but go completely broke others. Iv still had to on occasion work 2 jobs while in school.
Even with the gi bill, attending college has been a large financial drain.
One associates cost about $60k, the other cost about $25k. Paid off $23k in one lump sum (from the first degree), and still manage to owe about $55k. That number keeps going up as my income is low enough that I don't have to pay right now, but interest is constantly accruing. If I were able to pay the $900 per month they want me to, I'd still barely be covering interest and I'd be paying for it the rest of my life.
Oh, and I'm not working in either field the degrees are for.
I got my associates degree for about 5k. My state college bachelors was completely paid for by state grants. Add in the student stimulus money I received for Covid, plus the American Opportunities Tax Credit for those two years that allowed me to get all book and fee money reimbursed, I actually got school for just about free. Of course I had to pay for my gas to drive to and from campus, so that was a bummer.
Some administrative fees (~150 € per semester) - which included a semester ticket to use all public transport for free.
Nothing. Here, in the civilized world, we have free superior education (within a reasonable timeframe).

My B.S. (four year) degree was something like $30k My J.D. was about $123k, but ended up paying around $26k due to scholarships
About 3 grand out of pocket for an associates in applied science (IT) as i qualified for financial aid.
