Let’s say a year of college costs $30k for tuition. Let’s also say after year 1 you could make $35k/yr in a very entry level job, and that goes up $15k/yr. The true cost of the final 3 years of your degree is $90k tuition + $150k lost wages + 3 yrs work experience + interest.

That’s not the point you were making. The avg worker with a degree makes $59124 where those with a hs diploma make $38376. Math tells me you’re wrong, by a lot, and the fact that you make this claim means you stand to benefit from pushing it

On a society where most competent people go to college of course that’s true. But is it because of the degree or massive selection bias?

Or what if a degree consisted of one year of study and three years of tuition-free work study?
