That is an interesting and disturbing article...however:

1. The 'investments' were way off the charts. I can name at least four schools I could attend for practically free. Even the private school investment was a stretch, unless you're going to Harvard or something.

2. There is much more to college than getting a good job. I can vouch for that.
