A Spinoff from another series:
Indeed, it depends.
If you go to a very selective college, and you major in Finance, and you get a $200,000signing bonus with a huge Brokerage House...
Frankly, I don't know why this is such a difficult problem: Pick a major that will cause you to market yourself to someone willing to pay for your degree!
Why, then, would anyone spend more than $200 for a degree in UnderWaterBasket Weaving?
Why would anyone get a BA in Elementary Education that costs $100,000???
Let's just get real a moment: These parents, and their kids aren't THAT STUPID.
They are paying what was once called a "Dowry." University costs began to soar when more women began to attend college than men...coincidence? I think not. Parents are paying to send little Muffy off to college to find a husband.
I think a better question would be, "Is college education worth the cost?"
I don't think it is.
