About 1k left. Paid 12k total, and have been out of school for a year. I worked fulltime as a delivery driver for dominos :(, but it paid the bills. And I lived with my parents while attending.

Did you go to business/med/law/etc. school?

I think I might be around 125k when I'm done with everything.

$0. my parents paid for 75% of my college tuition, and the trust fund that I got after graduation paid for the rest.

I'm at $18.5K, and am working full time. I'll probably have that figure up to about $40K, after I go back for a Masters or MBA. Haven't decided which I want to go for.

People should also state how much they currently make or hope to make when out of college, this should be interesting...

I currently make $33,200. I expect to pull a whole $33,800 when I get out unless my job gets reclassified. (unlikely) I'm going to start on Grad school in the summer. I work for a University so tuition is free these days, but books and additional hours past 9/semester aren't.

$0. scholarships and parents paid for it all. they believed it was important for a kid to go into the real world without being burdened by debt, even if it's school loans.

i find it funny when people say i'm spoiled for not having to pay my own way through college. i'll definately be paying for my kid's college education, so it's not like i'm escaping the 'college costs' in my lifetime. :)
