Basically you're saying it needs to be a realistic option for it to be an option. Yeah, pretty much.
I think the knowledge from college is pretty useful and I enjoy having it. I also think the format sucks and it's really expensive and a mixed bag as to whether you actually have a good / useful experience doing it. Roughly 3/4 of my courses felt like bullshit at a top 50 CS university that is top 10 for engineering. Either they were useless to me (sorry gen ed, you aren't accomplishing your goals) or the profs really didn't give a fuck about teaching and often simply lacked the skills for teaching.
