<p>Another consideration is that most people don’t pay $200,000. They attend in-state institutions for $80,000. Or, they attend a private college with merit and/or need-based FA. I think this argument also ignores that college is not just an education in order to get a job and earn money. It also has a lot to do with the maturation process and becoming independent. Are they suggesting that an 18-year-old should live at home and his parents should hand him $200,000 and tell him to start a business? I’m sure that would work well.</p>
