I’d almost connect costs to what an average person gets paid for the job they’ll go into. If a teacher makes 40 grand, the degree should be 40 grand. If a social worker makes 25 grand then the degree should cost that much. It’s ridiculous of some of these majors to cost 100 grand or more when the salaries are low.
