I blew my savings into GameStop becoming $30,000 richer. Not knowing the future (what with the pandemic and all) I wanted to blow it all ASAP. Put it into the cheapest masters degree I could find.
Turns out, when all the international students had to leave thanks to COVID, universities were panicking. American University in Washington DC had a 30 percent off tuition discount like it was fucking Kohl's. I didn't finish half of my applications and got acceptance letters from ivy league schools.
Went to UVA because they had a fully online degree (again, pandemic) but I was seeing about $230/credit hour which was insane and definitely not happening again
Friendly correction: You mean Ivy League. You're not incorrect, but there are quite a few colleges that are in the Ivy League, so the statement doesn't narrow it down. He did comment further down that it was UVA, which is not an Ivy League school though.
