Is a higher tuition worth the experience?

I agree that there are a lot of life experiences associated with college…but it is also a business decision. If you know that you want a career in teaching, you need to take debt into consideration in your choice. Teaching can be a very fulfilling career, but if you are carrying the equivalent of an extra mortgage payment then there will be some things that may be impacted…car, house, family, etc. Teaching offers job satisfaction and flexibility, but the salary for teachers has been stagnant lately. If money is no object, then go where you love, else take a careful look at your options and find the best fit for your goals including career and overall cost.
