We'll see where the cost of college is in 12 years when my oldest is there.

Right now, it seems like the cost/benefit of college is way off. 17 years ago four years of college cost me $32k (total, everything included) and landed me a $50k a year job. Today, the same major at the same school would run $96k and the same job and the same employer would pay $60k. So a college degree landed me with debt equal to 64% of on year's salary. Today it would be 160%. A decade before me, that number was more like 30%. I'd also argue that over the same time period, the actual quality of a college education has declined significantly as well.
