This underscores two things I've been saying for a long time:

1. Education should be about bettering yourself, not maximizing your profitable potential. That's why I'm such a proponent of the Liberal Arts.
2. For those who believe it is about maximizing your profitable potential, you'd better check your math. There are some that have value, but for most, you're probably better offer taking that money and putting it into a high-earning investment.
