State universities offer an inferior education.

<p>Your evidence for that? </p>

Graduates are not going to make the same amount every year for the next 30 years. In just a few years, she will be making more than she is now. Incomes rise in terms of years of experience and the economy. 10K a year was amazing in the 60s. Look at it now - beyond poor. What does that say about her income now and in 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?

<p>I’m hoping you were/are not an econ major. Incomes rose because of unprecedented inflation. In hindsight, you could argue that taking out loans in the 70s and paying them back largely in inflated dollars of the 80s was a good idea. That is not likely to be the case now, and anyone who borrows money on the assumption that it will be might as well spend his/her whole paycheck at the lottery window.</p>

It’s a tough economy now, but it will be improve in years to come. It is inevitable.
