    40k? In USD or in Warhammer? Cause that’s a shite ton of money for college.

    What did you study btw?

    Also, I am great full to live in a shit hole country right now given that bill

      Social work. And it’s laughable considering that social workers and mental health professionals generally don’t make a lot of money. I have no regrets getting it, just wish it was cheaper.

        Underappreciated work, but thank you so much for doing it and for involving yourself in further education, more so knowing the costs.

          I love what I do, and it’s definitely needed. I am sure more people would go into the field if education was cheaper. I am lucky to afford full loan payments because I have a partner with a decent income. Honestly don’t know what I’d do without him.

      40kUSD is nothing compared to some STEM degrees - especially at the masters level. PhDs can often be funded and not cost the student though (only in lost time…and mental health…)
