University is a lousy investment
December 8th, 2006
I’m still in bed with flu so today’s post is just another link. Michael Robertson, who was the man behind the mp3.com and is now responsible for Linspire, a Linux distribution designed for normal users, decided to do the math and work out whether going to university is a good investment. It turns out that it’s not, at least not in terms of money and if you have to pay for it yourself. Almost all prospective students would be better off taking all the money for their university tuition and investing it, and just working at any job they enjoyed.
Don’t believe it? Michael does the math here, read it for yourself.
