[quote=Anonymous]One big problem with this thread is that people are ignoring every benefit but the impact on salary. Other benefits of college, and how I value them: - It’s a lot of fun. Like skiing, but warm. $5,000 over four years = $20,000. - 10% chance I got a spouse and one good kid: 10% * $100,000 = $10,000 - 80% chance I met lifelong friends: about $5,000 - Maybe a significantly higher chance that even poorly paid jobs I get will offer health insurance: 10% * $20,000 * 5 years = $10,000 - Preparation for civic life: 50 years * $500 = $25,000 That adds up to about $70,000, and there are probably benefits I’m leaving out.
