2nd you do need to weigh your education on what your degree can get you. you need to be able to make more then your school loans a year. just you give you and idea 100k in school loans will run you 1000+ a month for 10-25k years
yea exactly, having a fancy degree always helps. But to be honest the rich kid who was in the top tier frat on campus is going to make more money then you even if he was drunk every single night throughout school and learned nothing, simply because dad's got the connections.

Its a dog eat dog world, and you're gonna have to kiss some ass and make some freind's along the way and internationalize your learning experience, you can't do it on your own anymore.

Also think about what you want to do...

if you just want to do undergrad, then go for the best school you can possibly get into with a great reputation.

if you are going to grad school then cut back the expenses and go to a somewhat reputable state school, you're undergrad degree won't mean **** when you get out of grad school. Luckily and somewhat unluckily due to college rankings, grad schools will pick the kid from KSU with a 4.0 over the kid at Duke who got a 3.5 because they want to look better.

just research man but always going for the better college is the best option, don't let the debt control you or scare you.
