lololol second degree, you mean Masters Degree? Masters is equivalent to Magister in Poland.
Public college will probably be cheaper around $20K-$40K because you would be international student.
Private college would probably set you about $100K. Probably add another $50K for being international student...
not worth it..plus education is shit..take it from somewhere who actually finished his degree last year in electrical engineering ...

The cost of education in the states is insane. It's supposed to get you deep into debt so you spend the rest of your life like a rat in a maze trying to pay it back. It's only a viable option if you've got rich parents, otherwise I've seen many shoot themselves in the leg this way.
i'd rather be fucking homeless tbh.

My 4.5yr college degree costed me about $120K. Luckily for some reason I got really high financial aid so I ended up only with ~$30K in students loans which is nothing...some of my friends have on average $80K in loans...
I will probably get masters degree within next 5 years anyway, heh. but i will be a lot smarter in terms of financial stuff

Thinking about the cost of studying in other countries is staggering. It's easy to take free education for granted.

Why cant you just take your master in a country where education is free?

I think foreigners still pay, but small amounts like 5-10k for the whole degree..

Most likely because they aren't an EU citizen or member of said country.
Edit: Took the 'you' as in general. Anywho, free is like free healthcare... Still costs money  |

It just doenst pay outside the US. A bachelor IT dude earns 1500 after taxes in belgium, a master 2000. That's 500 more per month. And nobody will give a fuck whether you have a local IT degree or some fancy Stanford degree. If you are good, you are good, if you are bad, you are bad. I mean, it's not USA, so no fancy pancy title flashing.
At a cost of 100k, it takes 20 years to earn back the investment. Knowing that you can study the same master for 500 euros in belgium, or ~1500 euros in Holland, and comparable numbers in France or Italy or Sweden or wherever, you would be stupid to go to the US to earn a master. Just earn it in europe, plenty of good schools around.
Even as non EU, you would pay max 8000 per year...

It was more about being valid in most countries tho (Without rigorous research of validity). A Belgian one is even a fucking hassle in Sweden while a US one seems to be A-OK  (Doesn't matter that we actually spend more years and time in school than they do  )
But then again they glorify the US over here for some reason.
Jobs it usually boils down to actual qualification so I agree on that.
Had one of those 'masters IT jobs' without any degree. But yeh those don't come often in one's path and was very rare to start with that salary

In canada your education is basically 70 percent subsidized. I pay abouttttttt 1300 per 2 units of university... so about 700 per course plus add maybe 50-150 for books. not too bad man.
