No, but the web is full of them. Search Cheaper Than Dirt price gouging and a few pages will appear under the images. That is where these came from. Don't know if you can dive deeper into the image and get the date or not. My best guess is the year following Sandy Hook, as that is when they seem to have solidified their repetition as trash.

That guy can spot when someone wants to gouge him on ammo but not when they want to install a toolbar in his browser.

Tech and tu are more expensive than A&M.

Tech and tu are more expensive than A&M.

Still state schools, so they are relatively a good bargain. Check out SMU, Rice, Baylor, TCU, Southwestern, Trinity, etc. if you want to pay and pay.....................all of those start in the 30K per year and go up.

I know. Out of the love of my wallet and bank I don't consider those schools or the k-8 academies/religion schools an option.

They're all pretty much right in line with each other, cost wise.

I'm good at changing light bulbs. I just hire guys from Texas and Tech who are still looking for work with their degrees. lol

I paid for my own school. It is expensive, but it's been a no brainier investment for me.

Texas A&M #4 in the nation for ROI.

Texas A&M University Ranks 4th in Nation for Best ROI

Did you read that? Pretty sketchy IMHO.

What does it take to deliver the fourth best ROI out of all colleges in America? Let’s put it this way: Texas A&M students will pay around $5,297 in tuition and fees (a very small amount, relatively speaking) during their education but will go on to make an average starting salary of $50,200 and $568,900 over 30 years.

Question 1, '$5,297 in tuition and fees ' really? Is that semester, yearly or total? Something not right.

Question 2, 'go on to make an average starting salary of $50,200 and $568,900 over 30 years.' Huh?? If I start out at $50K a year that is $500K in ten years right? So for years 10-30 after my TAMU education I am only going to earn me $68,900 or an average of less than $3,450 a year?? WTF. (Or I guess that they figure out what crap I learned and cut my salary each year after the first one trying to get me to quit, but since I can't find another job...................... )

Me thinks the aggie that wrote the article is the one that the jokes are about.

That 5 k probably for 15 credit hours, or a semester. That's not including room and board. Books. Probably does have all the fees.
