He’s so far out of touch with reality it’s like he’s from another planet. With many graduates facing a non-existent job market, foreign workers being brought in h1b visas out competing Americans on cost if not quality, a flood of illegals taking all lower tier jobs who are soon to be granted amnesty it amounts to insanity to take on a 4 year commitment with no guaranty of ROI for one’s best years of their youth.

Better to take the 100k and sink it into community business or accounting classes and start a business with the remainder with a foothold here and in a rising foreign nation. Pretty much anywhere else.

True, if the final degree is a mere BA. As I say in this thread, the earning power of BAs/BSs has shrunk, barely above that of high school grads, but the earning power of post-grads, especially engineering, law, medicine, and business has grown substantially.

Danko and Stanley's "Millionaire Mind" and "Millionaire Next Door" research showed that most millionaires did not think their education was the PRIMARY cause of their success, but all of them cited it as "a" contributing factor.
