    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      First year at Northwestern is now $72K. Of course, that doesn't include room and board.

      Just for reference, my tuition for the first year, inflation adjusted was $18,500 $12,600.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        This might be why Eastern Virginia Medical School is popular around here.

        Not cheap, but not UVA prices

            Hey - at least it's med school and not a BA in underwater basket weaving. There's a path to pay this back.

              Yeah, but I’ve got to contribute enough to get a vacation house out of this…

                How does your wife feel about the prospect of getting to say, in casual conversations, "my son is a doctor"?

                Will having a doctor son make the brothers/sisters-in-law jealous? They have any doctor son or daughter?

                  Well, since:

                  A) We’re not Jewish

                  B) in 12 years under our future Nationalized Medicine Program Doctors will be glorified DMV workers

                  We wonder if the ROI will be there.

                    We’re not Jewish

                    The first Jewish president calls up his mother and invites her over for Passover. Characteristically, his mother immediately begins complaining.

                    "Oiy, I'll need to book a flight and it's going to cost so much - it is just too much of a bother."

                    Her son counters, "Mom! I'm the President! I'll hire a private jet for you!

                    "Oiy, I'll need to catch a taxi and carry my luggage. It's just too much!"

                    "Mom! I'm the President! I'll pick you up in my limo! Then my guards will carry your luggage for you!"

                    "Oiy, I'll need to book a hotel."

                    "Mom! Don't be ridiculous! I'm the President! You can stay at the White House!"

                    "Okay, fine," she finally acquiesces. Two minutes later her friend Sophie, calls.

                    "So, Miriam, what's new?"

                    "Oiy, I'm going to my son for Pesach."

                    "Who, the doctor?"

                    "No, the other one."

                      Quite frankly (and no offense @George-K ) if he’s interested in the general field but also wants to make the cash, I would suggest Nurse Anesthesiologist. Six years total schooling and $180K per year…

                      But I think the lad is really into researching and finding new answers. Medical School might be the right path for him, but I’m not sure being a practicing doctor is…

                        He's been in college for what, 7 months?

                        Give him another 7 months...

                          What about looking for a PhD? Obviously most are research and while the pay while doing your PhD program is very poor, most schools will not accept PhD candidates unless they (the school) have funding to pay for them, so the schooling is "free".

                            MD/PhD then. You’re fucked. 🤣

                              OK, so tell him to take a minor in virtue studies as a fallback.
