James Altucher on College

Glenn Beck sits with James Altucher to talk college.

We've discussed whether college is worth it for most people.  I always want to pull out my "Hillsdale exemption" card at these discussions, but we should be honest that the vast majority of colleges offer very little quality education for loads of debt.

I like that James argues against college not just for the upfront cost, but for the opportunity cost as well.  What could you have done in four years?  A lot of great things that won't put you in debt.

I still think that college is for some people, but all generalizations are general.  And at this point, we should be comfortable saying that a lot of people are in college who shouldn't be there.  I am glad that people like James and Glenn have the courage to bring this up.
