Worse still you'll be 10s of thousands of dollars in debt where anyone from a third world country with access to a computer can connect to the internet and do your job for a fraction of the cost. CS degrees are a hazing ritual that keeps CS professors and fat cat administrators employed.

Not all countries have the profit oriented model of US universities.

Across the EU most universities have tuition costs of <$100 per month. The bulk of that usually goes to a public transport ticket.

For people who can't afford that, there are usually some forms of getting it for free.

Higher education really shouldn't be a matter of personal finances.

Most state universities across European countries, where students get partially supported via our taxes, to the benefit of all.
