  1. He won't, who put those tax incentives in place? Multinationals. Companies like IBM that sell "global solutions" lobbied for this kind of tax incentives.

  3. Well MSU is a good school-nothing against EMU but here are the much, much lower rates:

    In-State/Ohio Residents

    Tuition & Fees: $4,034.50
    Room & Board: $3,676.00
    Total: $7,710.50

    Out-of-State
    Tuition & Fees: $10,732.00
    Room & Board: $3,676.00
    Total: $14,408.00

    Bottom line: A kid in Detroit can commute to Ypsilanti and get a four-year degree for less than 17k.

  4. Yea, if i had to do it over again i'd be going to the local community college and transfer as many credits as possible to MSU. All the while working part time at least while going to community college.

  5. You should have went to Florida State. $130/credit, plus you can test out of all the lower division gen-ed/free elective courses for a $70 testing fee.

    You could theoretically complete a bachelors for less than $10k.

    What state are you in ?

    $20800 after federal taxes leaves you $19423 or $1494 every 4 weeks.



    How old are you ?
    Your health insurance is way to high. You can get a policy from Unicare or BCBS for way less than that. I am at least 10 years older than you and pay $130 with dental insurance included.


    Food seems a little on the high side. Oatmeal for breakfast and tuna/turkey/chicken sandwiches are your friend. If you must eat out, find a mexican food place and the smaller ones will sell individual tacos for less than $2. Order water, eat the free chips and dip, and leave a dollar tip, you can even add a side of beans or rice for a $1. Total meal cost you 3 to 4 bucks with a tip.


    Housing: Get a roommate

  8. Their degrees are a joke and their work quality is also. They don't do the same work for less money, they do worse work for less money. Cost savings are due to lower quality, and the consumers just accept it.
