Are you really sure that "a college education is still the best bet a person can make on his or her future" ?

College education has quite a lot of worth, but that worth is much less than it used to be and the price is much more than it used to be.

A degree that has some value is useless if obtaining it costs you twice as much as that value.

Well, the ROI calculations still often say it is still worthwhile – for example: http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21600131-too-man... (which cites: http://www.payscale.com/college-roi )
