[quote=FlyerInHi]Education is not necessarily about ROI. Like anything in life, there’s perceived value. A prestigious education can just be the Prada. The Walmart brand is just as functional.

Would you veto your wife’s purchase of a Prada? You might even go out and buy it as a gift, haha…[/quote]Exactly, the people who would pay for a Prada would pay $100k+ for a BS in underwater basket weaving 20+ years ago and will gladly pay $400k+ 20 years from now. Those who wouldn’t 20 years ago wouldn’t do so 20 years from now and probably wouldn’t be buying Prada. Different stroke for different folks. Which why I don’t think article like these would get people to change their minds.
