I want to strongly suggest that you reconsider your plan to borrow $ 150 , 000 for a masters degree . I think the total cost of attendance should be lower , probably around $ 25 , 000 to $ 30 , 000 per year for tuition , and $ 15 , 000 per year for living expenses . tuitionrates 1516 attendanceSome costs could be offset by research assistantships or teaching assistantships . Even in computer science , this is not necessarily a great value proposition , especially if you have a Bachelors degree in CS . If you take out $ 150 , 000 in student loan debt it will be really crippling to your future financial success . <| sep |> It wouldn ' t become p 2 w , because like the video said , value would simply shift away from UEC . It would be a balancing act between being Resource Rich and Money Rich . You can have a million dollars , but if nobody wants money for their wares you might as well be broke .
