It actually wasn't that long ago you could do that, wages were decent and prices were reasonable. 1994ish or so.

As I was leaving college, tuition at the school I was attending went up ~17% per credit hour. It's now looking $200/ch in the eye. For perspective, it was about 2.7x my hourly wage in 1994, now it's closer to 6.7x.

Education for everyone, including vast masses of people never in need of higher education, Has consequences.

Anyone believing that a college degree is a replacement for ones desire, aptitude, and/or natural skill and ability in a specific enterprise is delusional. There are many "professional students" that can make the grade, but are dismal failures when their college degree is put to the real test in the workplace.
