I should have specified “illegal.” I assume that legal prostitution has safeguards to protect against trafficked women being forced into servitude. If not, it should.
From the article:
My buddies compare $65,000 for tuition up north against $28,000 plus 77 degrees at a school down south. That math is easy.
And that’s the only math you need. Rest of the article is blather with a misleading headline.
I have a former coworker who is absolutely living vicariously through her two college kids. It baffles me, TBH. She wasn’t a cool kid back in the day, and she seems to want to make sure she is seen as the cool mom.
As far as suggesting less expensive schools, that makes sense. I’m not sure that the article makes the point it seems to want to make. FWIW, the former coworker’s kid goes to a party school in the north.
First thing I thought and I haven’t read the article is - lots of pricey party schools - in various parts of the country.
I would add - while some schools offer low prices, for many, they are also scholarship based - so you have to deliver academically in HS and on your SAT/ACT test to get those much lower prices.
But where do grads find jobs???
Same places every one else does. Not sure what you mean.
I think not. Any placement reports for LSU. Miss, or Bama??
In-state public is usually, not always, but usually the financially-safe choice. If you can get accepted. There are states where a young woman might not be able to get the health care she needs or where a person’s values, for lack of a better word, might not align with some of the states mentioned. (That goes for both sides of whatever.) There are also an increasing number of state colleges and universities that are eliminating majors that they don’t believe fit with their perceived (state) values.
In the PNW, the party school is WSU. My (in-state) kids weren’t interested for a number of reasons. We also didn’t want to pay out-of-state tuition for an education that would be similar to what they could get in WA. They ended up at a private U in OR and a regional here with comparable costs after FA. They had fun and enjoyed their education and stayed where they were comfortable living long-term.
Bama has strong/decent placement and a very good report.
Engineering goes toe to toe with most - has a higher employment rate than Ga Tech with a much higher knowledge rate, as an example - so the kids are confirmed to be employed.
Business is well known although I haven’t compared. Marketing earns more than IU Kelley - that I’ve noticed.
You should actually ask your question to many (not all) of the perceived top schools - that have - lame at best - career data or reporting - what are they hiding?
Below I put for Bama, LSU - and I only found business at Ole Miss - but I didn’t look that hard.
But it’s out there if you look for it.

Sometimes, it is the student’s state of being* rather than values that state laws and common attitudes in the state may cause problems for.

High tech today. Someone stole a Tesla from UTC mall - the owner called police and kept them informed of location as it made its getaway. Police tracked it to Mission Beach, where they stopped chasing it after it drove onto the boardwalk (at World Famous, for those familiar with the area). It drove up the boardwalk at high speed, seriously injuring one woman and causing several others to leap out of the way. It stopped after about a 1/4 and the driver fled. He was chased by two locals, who caught up with him and held him until the police arrived. The entire foot chase was caught on video by the second local, who recorded the whole chase on his Meta sunglasses.
