Such an education is more of a status symbol than anything of measurable value. The cost associated with it, like so much that the socialist left touts, is relative to an ever changing ‘perspective’ with no real metric for evaluation. Just how they like it.

However, with the falling value of the dollar and fewer men and women that actually can DO something of substantive value it is easy to see how the perception of potential value could eclipse reality. Businesses value the piece of paper more than they value person holding it in many cases. And with good reason, all too frequently they can’t perform up to the shtick.

But then again, look at how obama’s “education” has benefited his fellow classmates, radical socialist associates et al via stimulus, bailouts and payoffs.
