OS College Stuff

> tldr; dont go if you dont have the money

That's all true and good advice, but it's very specific to the US, and very specific to the last few decades. Recent US college prices are nuts. You all should be furious about it. It's true but tragic that you have to treat college as "a product you buy". It forces kids to plan their whole life out, treat college as a means to get a high paying job to pay off their student loans. Most people at that age don't know what career they want to pursue. College should be the place you go to broaden your mind and figure that out. It can and should be free (or cheap). Every dollar that the government spends on university education generates 5 to 10 dollars of economic growth, so it's a great investment for governments to make. The fact that the US is one of the few western governments that doesn't subsidize higher ed is just stupid and short sighted.

To be honest, I see prices go up to millions or even billions.
