I think that the average cost of K-12 education in the US is now over $100,000. It seems that it doesn't do a good job of reducing wage inequalities. A friend sent his son and daughter to high quality private colleges at a cost of over $100,000. The son argued that he could have done better with money. > Of course, "education and skills" are one thing and a "degree" is another > thing entirely, especially if it is from Devry Institute or similar. A profession seems to pay more than just having a degree. Attending a ivy league school will pay in giving a person contacts to help in future activities. One study found that those from wealthy families did considerably better than others with the same degree. Does the school make the difference in what one learns or is it the courses one takes? Doesn't reading by itself make one more intelligent? -- Ron
