<prompt> Human: First, shout out to this sub it is by far my favorite. So Im 17,junior in public New York high school, have good grades but not perfect could probably get in to any school outside top 25, and am starting at looking for colleges. My parents would be able to contribute about 15k per year towards college. Unfortunately, with an income of 150k combined with 4 children we still probably wont qualify for any financial aid. My older siblings both went to the same SUNY school and graduated with no debt, and my parents want me to do the same. But I reallly dont want to go to Suny Binghamton or Suny Stony Brook. I want to live in a big city. Ideally, I want to go to to a place like NYU, but I know that is too expensive. I really like McGill because of the academics and it is not that expensive compared to other colleges, but it would still be about 10k a year more than a Suny. My dad is a lawyer for the county and could probably get me a job straight out of Law School, but I am unsure if I want to go to Law school. Im in my schools mock trial club and I didnt enjoy it. I am also pretty involved in my congressmans campaign and I dont know what else to do so a political science major would be likely. I enjoy business and some politics, and I havent taken economics yet but I think I will like it. However, I dont like math and I think that is needed for anything with economics. My dream job would be a talent agent in NYC, but Im not sure what to even major in for that or how to get into that. Anyway, is it justified going to a place like McGill and going into 35k debt or going to a state school for free? Also, how much debt is too much? If I can find a school with 20k debt, is that acceptable? Thank you  <response>: If you can go to a state school for free then do it.And dont major in political science.
