Not quite sure where this should go as there isn't an "education" section, but I saw this article this morning and thought some of the fine denizens of the board may like to comment.
According to
this article, the cost of sending a child who's currently in grammar school off to University may exceed - get this! - $100,000.
Stats show that those who attend and graduate University have a stronger likelihood of achieving financial success, but at $100,000, plus the 4 or more years (and the associated opportunity cost of some of that income properly invested) subtracted from one's earning years is a pretty high hill to climb.
There are currently some executive MBA programs which are already close to this cost, but those are designed more for mid-life professionals looking to get those coveted letters after their name.
Is it worth it?
