It makes no sense to take out that amount of student debt unless your guaranteed a correspondingly high income after graduation..do shorter/cheaper courses and learn on the job..college degrees are a racket..

College is a racket...a lot of courses could be max 2 years long.. particularly tech or computers..

@NirvanaFan5000 I've been working as a programmer since 1998..I initially did a business/finance degree which was useless and then a one year post grad in programming.. enough to learn the fundamentals..every else I learned on the job or taught myself ..you can learn plsql,java, reporting tools at home now with a miriad of online resources..and the post grad was funded by the E.U..thankfully in Ireland college fees are nothing like the U.S

@gustavalexander8676 You could install a programming language on a PC and learn the basics..then possibly do a short course.. depends on how determined you are..even learn some basic SQL..
