College education Grad School is expensive
I just checked my student invoice statement. Tuition and fees I incurred since my first year of the PhD program is ~US$100,000, and still counting rising.
That is more than twice the cost of my undergraduate education.
(Figures exclude miscellaneous expenses such as housing rent and food - the two most important out-of-lab costs for grad students.)
On the other hand, a sizable number of alumni (fresh PhD graduates) from this department made that amount with one year's of work in industry.

Yeah, but you didn't pay a cent of that 100K.
Is the rest of the years of grad sch paid for by your uni?
lr: Still, someone else did.
joseph: By my dept, and my advisor. Thankfully for Grad school, there's this thing called 'tuition waiver'.
