I was thinking about this last week around the news coverage of the kid who got rejected from 16 colleges and decided to go straight to working for google. Even without the $100k, I struggle to imagine many people finishing college and starting their careers will be better situated than he is 4 years from now. Definitely some edge cases and it ignores the loss of college memories which could be significant to some but I do think this will become more of a trend considering the recent trajectory of higher education.
