<p>Personally, I think the stuff gobeavs said in the beginning was most important. The stuff about finding a school that is right for you. You will find the most success in education and the following career if you attend somewhere you feel fits you. </p>
<p>In his last paragraph, gobeaves was probably trying to say that a Rose education was valuable, but any education needs to be considered within the context of overall cost. </p>
<p>Take a look at the different schools you would consider. Then forecast the debt you’ll be in for each of them. Use an on-line debt payment calculator ([Direct</a> Loans?Calculators and Interest Rates](<a href=“http://www.direct.ed.gov/calc.html]Direct”>http://www.direct.ed.gov/calc.html)) to arrive at your approximate monthly and yearly debt burden.</p>
<p>Subtract that from the mean starting salaries in payscale to get a feel for your financial future.</p>
<p>IMHO, going into debt for a highly technical degree, like engineering, is a completely different situation than going into debt for a business or one of the liberal arts degrees. It is a reality of today that many will leave technical schools with six figures of debt. Going into that kind of debt for a business degree is lunacy. </p>
<p>Just my personal opinion here. YMMV</p>
