One reason is rad tech and similar are all over Tik Tok.

Another reason is these people know how to grind, but can’t afford a 4 year program.

I thought there has been a huge increase in need-based scholarships for US university fees in the last 15 years. More than just rich schools. Many state universities also offer quite good need-based scholarships based upon your own income + net worth and that of your parents.

Yes state schools are. That’s why it’s so competitive as well. $4-$6k at the state school vs $50K+ at private.

There’s one state school for my program within 100 miles of me (physical therapy assistant)

And a four year program is still 2 extra years of tuition even at the subsidized amount, and most would work fewer hours if at all because they need high GPAs.
