OK so I am not revealing which university it is, but my friend did the math and it turns out it costs 232,000 USD to graduate as an engineer from a certain university in Lebanon. Can you recoup this money? Yes. How fast? No idea. You see it all hinges on where you will work, at what (meager) salary, in which country, if you will get married, have a lavish wedding, get children, send them to school, get them to enroll in your alma mater (smile), and so on and so forth. Logically - whereas there is a possibility to earn back that money - it is well, not that easily doable, at least not in the short term if one is to be logical and consistent.
