I disagree. The cost of education is huge, especially at the Ivy league schools, but the cost of not educating the kids is in the end much higher. My son went to Colby. They told us that it would cost a lot and they wern't very successful with the kids' first jobs- most don't stay in their first job. But they told us they were very successful when it came to the kids' careers. They were right. My son initially worked at a beer brewery, must have drank up all the profits. Then he went to law school, got a great job, etc, etc.

In general, I think you get what you pay for in education. The better the education, the better the chance of a well balanced career (and life). Just my 0.02.
