This is a very odd framing of Da Vinci. He was very much famous for his art and the more scientific works weren’t discovered until later. In his time even he was comissioned for his arts by the most wealthy and powerful people and groups. Saying he did commissions to survive as though he’s a modern artist is especially odd - he was in a guild, he had apprentices. I dunno this whole comment is very strange

I hate this world

Just to expand on the cheaper option- there really is no such thing in the US. I went to my local poor univerity that I rode my bike to each day while still living with my parents - total cost for 4 years was around 20k. I think the average is like 40k without paying for housing

Everybody in the US is stuck with student debt. No poor person is even considering high tier universities- those are exclusively for rich people and people who get full ride scholarships.

Community college is cheaper but then you can’t get a bachelor’s degree from a community college.
