I'd look at it like a bank would a loan . So she pays $100k for a college degree... what is her earning potential once she has that degree? IE for Engineering school or similar, where a good job paying $60k+ per year on graduating is probable, dropping $100-125k on a degree makes sense - even if you did the whole thing with student loans, you could pay it off in a reasonable time with a good paying job. However, with a degree in basket weaving, English Lit, etc. that same investment wouldn't pay off - you qualify to be a manager at a Starbucks or similar.
