Yeah. I don't know the extent of her debt or current income, but she went to an in-state school for a STEM degree, she's not someone who got a useless degree from an overly expensive school. She definitely doesn't seem to regret her decision, whatever the financial or moral considerations.

As I said, I'm a bit perplexed.

She went to an out-of-state school for her master's. Article said that she was a ward of Colorado but went to the University of Oregon for her graduate degree.

No mention of undergrad so hopefully she did go in-state for much lower or free tuition.

I have 2 kids in college and a recent graduate. I am routinely horrified by the choices that some students make in going out of their home state or to a private school instead of a public one.
