Too true.
College can be affordable though with Community college and State colleges. Unfortunately, none of my kids could afford my Alma Mater, but none saddled themselves. But, you're right, an English major at Stanford is not likely to generate a huge salary unless you get the Law Degree from it and are ruthless and can afford a $500,000 loan.

That's very true. An English Literature degree from Harvard is no different than anywhere else - Shakespeare is Shakespeare.
In Canada some universities specialize in certain things but for general degrees it makes more sense to do these at less expensive schools.
Simon Fraser University is one of the big three in British Columbia. I decided to do a degree but you could do the first 2 years at Douglas College and then transfer up to the university to do the last 2 years. It was much cheaper as the courses were less than half the price at Douglas.
I took Psychology as an elective. Turns out the Douglas College course was taught by the SAME professor at SFU. Same textbook, same course!
So you got an identical education for half price. In the last 2 years, you pay double and you get the better name on the piece of paper.

a range of scholarships available.
I have a niece and nephew who are going to UGA with fully paid tuition thanks to lottery proceeds. Wifey and I are working on fully funding a third scholarship at the university where she works.
