This is the calculation for someone who got a bad job and never advances at all in 24 years. It might be a good deal for them. On the other hand, they could make that without going to college. Someone successful would make significantly more, and pay significantly more.

Never got a single promotion, or moved companies to a better job. And started at a below average wage. Of course this is a good deal for that person. If you want to be that person, you should totally support this plan or one like it. However, if you'd prefer to be even a little bit successful, this plan doesn't turn out as good. The math works quite differently if you start out at a better wage, as I imagine most people on HN did. It also works differently if you ever get a promotion in 24 years.
