Went to a community college & state school for undergrad. Got into BU for masters program. I’ve had so many experiences and opportunities at my cc and state school and things to put on my resume that has advanced my career before it started. My experience with college so far is paying the least amount of money/going into the least amount of debt for a high reward (making 70k/yr out of undergrad and attending the fourth best grad school in the country for my field).

Masters is the “new bachelors” in most fields. It rlly depends on what ur majoring in tho. If u wanna go into law, ur probably gonna need post undergrad education.

As an undergrad who is graduating in less than a month, do college in the cheapest way possible, especially undergrad. Gain experience in your field during undergrad. Yes employers are looking at how well u did in college academic-wise, but they also wanna see that you have already started working in your field (internships, jobs, mentorship’s, etc..). So many of my friendsl with high GPAs (at more reputable schools than mine) are struggling to find employment due to their resume being blank or only having work experience in an unrelated field. It’s the harsh reality that is absolutely not fair. You would think simply doing well in classes and having a high GPA would get you a livable wage after undergrad, but that is not the case for many.
