Over $50,000 For One Year Of College ???

USC, always striving to reach new heights, is set to cross a dubious milestone: Tuition for the 2016-2017 academic year will surpass $50,000 for the first time.

With a price tag of $51,442 for tuition and an additional $841 in fees, USC is sure to be in the running for the unofficial title of most expensive place in the country to get a college degree. According to U.S. News & World Report, Vassar College in New York won that honor for the current school year by charging $51,300 in tuition and fees. Even Harvard, that paragon of academic excellence, charges undergraduates a mere $45,278 in tuition and fees.

That is ridiculous.

When I went to school, at a university currently ranked in the top 50 in the nation, the total for tuition, fees, books, dorm, and full meals did not exceed $2,000 per year. To pay over 25 times that means either that our currency is worthless or college now costs far more than it is worth, especially because there are too few jobs in the US for college graduates.
