It seems overpriced unless you're very serious about a career in something like engineering or something else that's likely to pay for itself.<p>We've started talking about it with my daughter, who is in high school, and... we'll see, I guess. I want whatever she does to be intentional rather than just 'what the done thing is'.
I worked in this space for years. There are some colleges and majors that are a wash and a very few that are net negative, but the majority are net positive and the best are typically net positive several million in lifetime earnings even counting the hole you dig paying tuition and fees.<p>Hate them if you want but the vast majority are a fantastic investment.
