This is not a matter of luxury. A bright student with a degree from college WILL find a job.

But how many bright students from poor families forego college because of the up front cost (even after financial aid)? And how many bright students from poor families who do go to college would not have gone if college did not provide an upgrade in employability over entering the job market with just a high school diploma?
