State Colleges May Offer Best ROI On Comp Sci Degrees

jfruh (300774) writes "PayScale has recently released a survey of various U.S. colleges and majors, and determined, perhaps unsurprisingly, that computer science graduates of elite colleges make the most money in post-graduate life. However, blogger Phil Johnson approached the problem in a different way, taking into account the amount students and their families need to pay in tuition, [and found] that the best return on investment in comp sci degrees often comes from top-tier public universities, which cost significantly less for in-state students but still offer great rewards in terms of salaries for grads."

    The bill for the Obamacare exchanges is still rising, and may yet reach trillions - give it time. And it really wasn't just "crappy" insurance plans that people lost. I know people who have been forced into major life changes as a result of this BS (admitted, people riding the financial edge to begin with, so an extra $5k a year simply can't be done, but there are many people like that today!). Meanwhile, almost all of the newly-covered come from the broadening of Medicaid, and the ability to cover your kids until they're 25. So we could have gotten most of the benefit with none of the exchanges or cancelled policies, had the point of the law actually been "to help people".

    Neither president cared who he had to hurt to achieve his political goals. Moral equivalence in my book.
