College has been costly in US for decades; smart parents should consider in advance of having kids if they can afford to raise and educate kids....
Would define value of any college by ability of top grads to obtain a >$100K/yr job upon graduation
Lib arts colleges are utterly worthless in an economy dominated by tech and finance industries that have the most lucrative career paths today
IIRC, ~40% of Harvard's Class of '09 was unemployed at graduation: perhaps best example of lack of value of a "prestige" lib arts degree in a difficult economy
And at places like Wharton finance undergrad, the smartest kids finish undergrad in 2-3 yrs and then enter careers at investment banks or hedge funds at age 19 or 20
Harvard or Stanford kids who need 4 yrs and $250K to get a stupid lib arts degree and can't find a >$100K/yr job upon graduation are classic examples of Darwinian selection...even at elite colleges, bottom 90% of class tends to be filled w/economic and intellectual underachievers
