You know it's not really free, right? You and everyone you know will be paying taxes to pay for that "free" education for the rest of your careers.

Not saying it's a bad deal, but it's not free.

It is also not really free to you directly; there is an opportunity cost to being in a full-time graduate program vs. remaining in your job, advancing in your career, or starting a company.

It still might be the right choice for financial and non-financial reasons, but school isn't free even if you don't have to pay for it.
