Like many college students, I drank a lot. I drank so much, that I had to take out a second loan to cover the cost of all the soda I bought. That’s really all I drank. I just have never been much into alcohol, not even in college. College costs a lot – certainly far more today than when I was attending. Is it worth it anyway? Absolutely, it is. A college education and a degree are priceless in many ways. But how the heck can you pay for an education these days?

Sites like OpenCourseWare Consortium can save you a large sum of money. The OpenCourseWare Consortium is a collaboration of more than 200 higher education institutions and associated organizations from around the world creating a broad and deep body of open educational content using a shared model.

Even though you don’t receive a degree or certificate, you are still educating yourself at no cost. There are any number of courses and types of things that you can find and learn on sites like this. All it’s going to cost you is the time it takes you to go through the material.

Education is a good thing, whether you pay for it or not… and whether you get a piece of paper at the end of the learning. What matters in this case is that you have expanded your mind, and broadened your horizons.
