I went to get my CompSci master in a public college somewhere in NYC, total cost $20k.

Now I earn more than $250k/yr.

You can get into college without spending insane amount of money. You can also choose a more marketable major.

then you also have to realize that you are in the minority, even within your field. the vast majority of software engineers dont make nearly that much.

But going to my college with just $20k is not a privilege that only a minority can do. Its public college, anyone can get in.

I show my income only to state that people should major in a more marketable major.

Interesting. I'm glad to see there are still programs that aren't obscenely expensive. I went to Ohio State in Computer Science in 1984 and full time tuition was $600 per quarter or $1800 per year or $7200 for a 4-year degree.
