Nobody's saying we shouldn't have a well educated citizenry... the point that I was making was about whether it's worth going six figures into debt to become a well educated citizen. When you're investing that much money, it has to be a consideration. Also, the idea that a four year degree has a monopoly on making people educated is just incorrect. If you think it's the best thing for a society to have a well educated citizenry, then I hope you're working to get the government to pay for free college for everyone. The idea that people should have to make enormous personal financial sacrifice for the greater good of society is just bad.
