> you're back to education as a cost/benefit exercise.
In the real world that I live in, everything costs something. Only those who are insulated from the cost of things get to gibber absurdities like "this is more important than what it costs!".
Higher education isn't marginal. This isn't couch-cushion money. It either has to have a payoff, or it has to go away. It is imperative... making different choices won't prevent it going away, all you can affect is how much melodrama is stirred up when it does disappear.
