For real, it’s basically predatory. And I’m not talking about BS degrees from crap online schools.
What the Ivy Leagues charge for certain graduate degrees in the social sciences is basically a huge scam. There is absolutely no viable pathway to pay back the $200,000+ cost of a graduate degree in social sciences from a school like Columbia or Harvard, other than public service loan forgiveness, if you actually want to work in the field that the degree ostensibly prepares you for.
I know people that got grad degrees like this and then ended up going to coding bootcamps so they could work in tech to pay them off.
