The real answer is not so simple.
Overall, for society, it's always better to have an education.
But if the price goes up, it means you won't get the education you might want, so you'll get something less expensive, but if you go for it, it's hard to say that might suit you, and if it doesn't, you will lose interest and drop out.
It's always better to keep on, but if you get an education because of economic pressure, it has its ups and downs. It fulfills the concept of supply and demand, but not your dreams.
I don't think education, like healthcare, should be applied the principles of a market. And again, education is a very tricky social problem to solve.
You want it, but it's not distributed in the best fashion.
- nilved 13y agoEducation and college aren't synonymous. People are learning to avoid college because it's just one inefficient method of education: it requires a large investment of time, a monumental investment of cash, and very often doesn't provide satisfactory instruction. You're not asking me, but I would say that contemporary colleges are less about education and more about unloading debt on students.
- adamors 13y ago> Education and college aren't synonymous Especially now, when you can cover a lot of ground on your own. As a programmer at least. And I'm not even talking about MOOCs, but other resources that are available to a lot of people for either free or for a fraction of the price.
