I have a PhD in maths and didn't think about it at all. I still don't think about it now I am supposed to be repaying it, it's a non-factor, none of this stuff really matters.
chasef89 as a fellow accounts student, accounts doesn't mean calculating EVERYTHING. Yes, we do calculations and stuff but focused more on how to classfied certain payments. So I would say 80% of the time, we arranged and classified all accounts recorded then calculate (which is basically simple maths) so it makes sense if she hasn't realised about it. Besides, we don't really learn much about interest. Interest is in economics. Hopes this clear up. Sorry for the bad english :3
Haha, I'm about 5"2, and I'll probably have to do 2 studies, both in a different city far from my home town (so room as well, and in the netherlands, we don't have dorms.) I'm gonna be sooooo screwed.
What I've heard from exchange students, in Germany college is free but if you fail any course three times, you are out. So you can't just slack off and party which I think is a good motivation.
oh that's awesome. I'm from the Netherlands and we can loan money with 0% interest and pay it back in like, 30 years? It's pretty okay, especially compared to these amounts of money in the USA but your system really sounds great
@Owwwy You actually have 3 attempts? If it is free one fail and your out. If college being free allows you to pursue your passion in the field you want, which is the main argument for free college, there is no reason for you to ever fail at what is apparently your passion.
Coming from someone in college, to cut the costs, just go to community. My best friend is paying 25k a year at a instate private college. I go to a community college, for 4k or less, 1 after financial aid. In two years I transfer out. In four years, she'll be 100k in debt and (assuming I go to a four year after community) I'll have less than half that amount of debt, all for the same degree.
Marianna Soto Please. For the sake of humanity. Go to community college. Get a certification in something that will get you a job coming out. Then if you go to a university, you might actually be able to pay for SOMETHING. At least feed yourself.
Nicole Sealy that's what me and mostly my friends are doing. I got accepted to a university, but I decided to go to a community college. It's a way better option tbh.
Marianna Soto i have tons of friends going to community who are planning on transferring to a 4 year university. I myself got lucky, I'm going to a private school that I would never be able to afford, but I'm getting a ton of financial aid. Dont forget to fill out a FAFSA if you're american, it helps a lot. Also, scholarships
I'm from the Philippines and I've been feeling guilty on the sudden expenses my dad is willing to pay just for me to study to a good private college. I did not pass any good public school and I regret not studying for those schools. Seeing this video somehow got me aware of the reality of life and that education is really an investment your parents or yourself is willing to sacrifice just to have a stable job or even a one heck of a good job for your future. Just thinking about all of these expenses makes my heart in pain and sad for myself because I became irresponsible to not get into a good public university. Making my dad double his work just to sustain me and my siblings education this and upcoming years. To all the people out there who is like me right now and felt guilty of not doing good on college entrance exams don't worry you aren't the only one. Wishing for all the anxious students out there a bless college years! Let's do our best to give back all of our parent's sacrifices in the near future!
i feel like it would’ve been better if each ping pong ball was worth $10. there wouldn’t be as many, but it’s easier to process since our number system is based on 10’s
oh i'm sorry are we all trying to act smart sure we should've made them all 16 dollars since base 16 is represented by hexadecimal all all americans think theyre clever shits
Crystal Xiang 1. So they could have gotten a wider or taller box. 2. But then again Buzzfeed is pretty cheap. 3. If it got over there heads, to avoid choking, they could have just given them masks so they could still talk.
2:41 I learned that those fees are freaking ridiculous, nobody should pay that much for education, and I'm not saying don't go to college, but I'm just saying how ridiculous it is
Drink Me! How is it free? So the professors and people that work at the college don’t get paid? Ohh wait, the tax dollars of the citizens of Sweden pay for your college. You don’t pay anything. Once you’re an adult, you pay for other people’s college. I wonder how high the taxes in Sweden is.
How it works after High School 1. Don't go to college and take your small chance at success 2. Don't go to college just to realize its hard without a degree and then be forced to graduate way later than everyone else 3. Go to college for a risky degree while wasting a ton of money just to have a really risky chance at a decent job 4. Go to college for a more safe degree while wasting a ton of money just to have pretty much all your friends competing with you for the same jobs because of such high competition. 5. Go to college for a really safe degree while wasting a ton of money just to realize you hate your job and have to put up with it for the rest of your life or go back to school for something more fulfilling, but risk it all over again. Welcome to 2017 everybody, but seriously I hope everyone pulls through and keeps hustling. I personally chose a very unique path.
I'm becoming an author and a chef so I don't need college, I'm gonna take college level English classes and then doing online classes. I'm working at a restaurant I can work with a master chef to get the experience I would get spending years in culinary school and spending way too much money. Thats my plan anyways
CalvinHuynhFitness You're right. There are different paths in life. I chose college, because it was the right opportunity and time for me. I doesn't mean that everyone shouldn't go to college. College is also a unique life experience.
$41,000usd for room and board-- yeah that's why the majority of Australians go to local universities (no not community college, we call that TAFE, the actual local universities) and stay at home for free
QueenMaddie83 get a job in high school, do 2 years at community college while working at 18, transfer to a university in state only (don't choose a university in another state and make sure it's a state university that's big in size) and continue to work 20 hours a week, room with 3 other people off campus, make your own meals, and choose a good degree that pays well. I guarantee you'll succeed
I disagree. Although you will most likely be in debt for a few years, you will soon start to out-earn a Walmart employee. You can also work in a field that you enjoy instead the endless drivel that you have to do in retail. More people should look into trade skills that they can learn at Community College. There's a huge demand for them because most of the people working them are going to retire. It'll practically cost nothing.
shelby gallant If you look into it there's quite a good amount of joba that pay well and don't require a degree. Starting a business is also always an option.
shelby gallant traditional education will make you a salary, but self taught education will make you a fortune. People with degrees are losers, they all work a miserable 9-5 desk job being bossed around all day. You won't miss out on anything
I don't know why more people won't take this route. It's significantly cheaper and if you ever want to change your major, it is not that much of a hassle. There's a really bad thinking of people that go to CC are the "not so smart people," which is something I hate .I think most people go to a big university to experience the independence and party which is not a good reason imo.
It can be difficult to transfer out. You have to be very careful about what classes you take, my university accepts very little from the CC at my home town, and non of the major courses could be accepted. I had a roomate who came in as a Jr from a 4yr and only got soph level of credit accepted, he ended up having to take a total of 5 years. Also you have to accept some colleges at some universities do not accept anything other then Freshman or internal transfers. So lesson: going to CC is great but you have to be careful or you can end up wasting alot more money then simply going to 4 yr college to start out with. moving from CC to 4 year also can mess up your GPA, alot will not add those in so all you fluff classes are removed and your GPA is based purely off your last 2 years and you have no chance of saving it if you make a bad grade in a course. (sorry long just wanted to show CC also has a set of challenges/setbacks)
Leah Lawson I don't know what "challenges" you are talking about. I graduated HS with a 1.5 GPA, went to CC, graduated in 2 years & got a full ride to UCLA. I am going to school tuition free and they are paying for my room and board. I don't know what's so "difficult" about that but CC is definitely the better option.
My sister got in to Cornell and my family didn't get financial aid. My dad said our family has enough money but not enough too. 😢😢 Edit: what I mean by enough but not enough is my family makes enough money that we don't need financial aid but not enough money to pay for a university like Cornell comfortably. Plus Cornell is the only ivy university to have financial aid... 😥😥
tutanida74 enough money to live a comfortable life, but too much income so that the college won't provide a substantial need based (the only one ivy leagues give) scholarship, which makes the cost insurmountable bc it's gonna be like 240k for four years
Bxth _ then get good grades or do sports and get a scholarship. There's no excuse, what, U want free college? Well someone's got to pay for it. Or even better go to trade school. Or the military.
Emmanuel Majekodunmi I got good grades( top 10% in my class) and I got scholarships and grants, but I still had to take out a student loan and still pay out of pocket.
In my opinion, undergraduate degrees are worth taking out a loan for:1. Business degrees such as Finance, Marketing, Analytics, etc. 2. IT majors: Computer Science and Data Science. 3. Engineering Degrees. Don't go for liberal arts degrees if that means you'll be in debt for the next 20 years.
Ashley, it's very honest. It's really funny when you're looking at how much med school costs and thinking about someone trying to save up anywhere near that much money before med school. OP, sorry if I offended you, but from a med student to a pre-med, I really wouldn't stress too much about trying to save for med school right now. You're going to have to take out student loans anyway.
L vamp still have to pay for books,rooming and personal expenses and travel if it's a bit of distance away and you plan on moving on campus and still seeing family/friends back home ever
It depends on where you’re studying at tho.. i’m in meds school and my tuition for 1 semester is around $555 and there’s no extra fee (except for your personal needs like book etc)
Mark Molenaar Yeah, 0.1% on the money you own, that's the interest you get, but the interest you pay if you loan money, is about 7% (I'm from the Netherlands as well)
How much cosmetology school is costing me $18,000, how much my boyfriends trade school will cost him $2,000-$5000 And he will start at $35/hr once he's done with school
I'm going for the same exact certs in a trade school and it is not 2-5k guaranteed. Although if you live out of U.S. maybe, but I live in Kansas the air capital of the U.S taking this course for 30k.
I guess the lesson is to find shortcuts or better paths to save as much money as possible, whether that’s buying books from a friend, or renting an apartment off campus with 4 people, or whatever
marie calter my sister just went to college and i cant buy anything for 4 years but when she finishes my parents say they will buy me a new console like a ps5 if that comes out by 2020
Reagan Labiak Aha same. But then again I said something I regret..he was even crying after I said it.. IDK if he's willing anymore 😂 (my dad) eh.. College ain't for another what...4 years.. He'll get over it.
Neil Sahai the amount of people that get enough scholarships to cover all 4 years of college is very slim. It's not that simple. I've applied for tons of scholarships and applied for financial aid. I'm very lucky that my school gives out high financial aid packages but some schools DON'T do that.
I mean college in Canada (basically university for people who either can't afford uni, those who don't have the marks to make it, or those who want to go into the trades/nursing) is tons cheaper than university. And you can transfer from college to university and get full credit
Public colleges in Brazil are the best ones and you do a test to get a spot there, when you can't do it you go to a private college that the price depends in what you want to study. In general, even in Brazil studying is wayyyyyy cheaper.
