[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that projecting the college situation in a straight line from here to 15 or even 10 years from now is nuts. In just the last 5 years, many colleges have taken introductory classes 100% online, and MOOCs give you access to the best professors for nothing.

By 2030, who knows what changes technology will have introduced. I seriously doubt today's toddlers will have the same college experience we did, and I am certain the cost will not continue to rise at the same rate.[/quote]

I agree that there will be changes in higher education, but high-quality programs will likely still remain an expensive gateway to good jobs.  It is a big gamble to not save for college and just hope the system changes.[/quote]

it is still a smaller gamble than living one's whole life (having less kids, living in a smaller house, feeling poor, under saving retirement etc) because of the assumption that 2030 tuition will be 7 million dollars or something.

and the key to high-quality programs is their selectiveness, not money. is your kid the top 1% or top 0.01%? are you going to gamble 20 years of your lifestyle and all major decisions on the belief that he is? [/quote]
