SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU WENT TO HIGHER EDUCATION, DUMMY!!!

No, but for real, the trap of higher education is fucking horrid. I'm all for more knowledge, but they have hiked the price of it so high that it isn't morally acceptable anymore. Students don't even understand what they're getting themselves in to, until it's too late. I wish I knew what I know now, before I went to college. Student loans and the ridiculously expensive tuition they pay for are a fucking joke.

I've been looking at my local collage for further education, something like social care. just for the introductory 10 week course, it costs around £350. And each following level doubles the price of that. To complete all levels will set me back several thousand, but they expect it paid up first and foremost with this collage.

Its money I just don't have right now.

Right ... private schooling (non-state-college subsidized) was $500 per class (not credit hour) 30 years ago here.  With DU on-site schooling it is now $1320 per credit hour.  Usually there are 3 credit hours in a full credit class.  Off-site social work schooling is now $720 per credit hour.  Executive MBA package is $15,000 per quarter inclusive.  University College (for working people) is $660 per credit hour.  My masters was from University College DU ... the 2 years masters should cost about $33,000 today.  Fortunately my employer paid most of my expenses 30 years ago.  Today it is more than 3x more expensive.  The current IT masters is 12 courses long.  You do the math.

Di you go to a community college first? Get scholarships? Get a Grant of some sort? Get advise from a adviser? Apply for a waiver or something to help you?
