When Will The College Tuition Bubble Burst?


This is a chart from the Carpe Diem blog showing the increase in college education costs, U.S home prices, and the consumer price index. If we had a housing bubble, the skyrocketing costs of higher education is a super bubble.

It is a horrible situation, college tuition going up. Job oppurtunities are decreasing constantly and the young adults coming out of college have no where to go.

It all depends on where you decide to go to school. I can go to a division I school in some states, colleges with hundreds of millions in endowments, and pay less then I would then if I went to SU. In the field I'm entering, school name recoginition is important.

I do though totally agree on the skyrocketing cost of tuition. It's insane. What I also detest is illegal immigrants in some states, receive in-state tuition prices...why, a citizen of the US can't get that riles me.

When Pres. Obama decides that the college professors are making too much money and his pay czar revamps their pay like they want to do to corporation executives. NOT!
