Thread: Wow! Are You Kidding Me!?

I guess I could edit my last post, but too late. Just did a search, the average cost of an R.N. degree from a state school is approximately $29,000 up from $26,300 in 2008. And the cross section for private schools is $55,000 with the very top ones being around $125,000. But regardless of cost, I still say if you are going to school to learn, and you are paying for it, within your means, learn what you want to learn. Take the classes you want to take. I highly recommend continuing education, which in many schools is graduate level coursework at a discounted rate.

There's no way you will make this kind of money with a history degree. What can you do with history besides teach it or get a job on a TV show?

You must not be following the news much. Newt Gingrich made quite the penny as a historian which he was, as opposed to a lobbyist, which he wasn't.

You may not think that an expertise in 'Belgian Education Policy in the Congo 1945–1960' would get you over half a million dollar credit line at Tiffany's, but that's probably because you're not a historian.
