    Here’s another article that’s skeptical about the value of college:

    “The Great College Hoax“, from Forbes magazine, January 14, 2009.

    The same argument can be made about graduate school. I’ll be paying-off my grad school loans for a total of 25 years (I refinanced my original loan five years ago). I doubt that I’ll get a positive return on investment.

    you could ask the same thing about any investment and the answer will be “sometimes”. individual circumstances matter a lot, and so does luck after the draw.

    Thank you for the links! I especially liked the idea of putting college money in a Treasury bill.

    I learned that it is possible doctors won’t be making as much anymore. The health care reform will affect them.
