Sad but regrettably true

I think it is basically saying how parents have to spend massive amounts of money for their children to get a good education

And I owe my parents so much for that

Wow, why were you downvoted for that Chu?

maybe because it's me

Wouldn't that signify a lower quality education

It could i guess.

My wife earned 2 associates like that then went on to earn a bachelor's then masters elsewhere. That route saved her over $50,000.
