for the amount of money you probably spent, there are a dozen better ways of "finding yourself."

I think about how much I spent over those 4 years. I could have travelled around the world during that time and come out of it with a much richer experience.

Education does cost too much, definitely. But in my case it led directly to a stable career path in ways that traveling the world could not. It set me up for life.
