Cost of College - Are You Kidding me?!

[Ben Leybovich]

So a friend texts me yesterday. We went to college together at the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music (CCM). He is still doing that gig, and owns a few units...

He texted me the following data he'd come across relative to cost of tuition:

Cleveland institute of Music - Tuition $42,250 / All in $59,082

Oberlin - $66,000

University of Southern Cal Thornton - $70k

Are you kidding me? The pay at #20 of the top 20 American orchestras is under $60,000. Each of these top 20 employ plus or minus 100 people, for a total roster of 2,000. This means that the rest of the graduates of these conservatories, simply put, bounce on ****...

Please tell me why in the hell anyone will pay these amounts or anything near to learn music, art, or any other liberal art thing...

No **** the millennials have Net Worth of $12,000, or whatever it is. This is just nuts...

Silly Ben, it's not the students who are paying these costs, the gubmint will get them through! Why would the student care what it costs, they'll just take a loan and then ask Hillary or Bernie to pay it for them.
