As much as I enjoyed learning about Finance at W&M, this confirmed my frustrations with the ROI on a full-time MBA program in 2019. I had little finance work experience under my belt at that time (switching industries from Construction Management/Land Development), so that handicapped me with the job search. But this is not isolated to business degrees, but rather the Higher system as a whole. I would suspect we may see a decrease in the # of universities in the future, OR a decrease to their overhead. From my analysis, its the added cost of non-academic buildings/offerings (gyms, dorms, student centers, medical facilities) that are driving these high tuitions. Maybe Universities could utilize technologies like Zoom to reduce the need for academic offices?

Thanks Professor for good read. Keep up the good work!
