I wonder how much of this is just a result of US tuition costs being out of control.
Does this analysis hold for coding bootcamps? What about Canadian colleges (say, Waterloo, Queens or Toronto)? What about community college? Restricted to only CS/EE degrees? Becoming a doctor? Does it account for the probability of dropping out of various college progams?
- randomdata 9y ago> What about Canadian colleges In Canada, no meaningful rise in income due to university attainment has occurred[1]. For young men in particular, increasing rates of university attainment has shown lower real wages[2]. No need for 7% stock market returns to try and make up for lost wages as seen in the article. You could technically put your equivalent student costs into a low-interest savings account and come out further ahead.
