@lawbrained, it’s most likely these posters from 10 years ago are long gone from CC. Just reading their misguided thinking ($100,000 in debt???) gives me a stomach ache. No 17 year old should assume that will be easy to pay off. You will instead spend about 20 years paying back college when you should be investing in your future. And really, SCA (where some of these students were admitted) is a less likely major to “pay off.” Engineering or Business are a different story, but film/tv??? I chuckled at the Zeldafitzgerald above who thought screenwriters don’t make much money for a few years. Um, the majority don’t make a lot of money in screenwriting… ever. Ever. So be smart and don’t get yourself into big debt people!
