I'm not sure what sort of distinction you're trying to create, a high quality education will have value.....
The way that I look at it is an business degree from Yale is more valuable than an business degree from a lower end college such as Penn State University, even if Penn State University provides a better quality education (where the graduate is more capable).
By higher value, I mean an organization is likely to hire the graduate from Yale for a higher paying position than the graduate from a lower end college.

Okay, but only a business with pathetic hiring practices would prefer artificial prestige over actual educational quality. After all, only the latter actually helps their bottom line.

Organizations are likely to hire the graduate from the superior program....
I don't know were all these high paying jobs are coming from.If 7 out of 10 jobs created in the next 20 years are low paying service work, what will the 70% of high school grads that that go to college do?The numbers just don't add up.We all can't be high paid professionals.

People do retire. Older workers who can't keep up have been laid off.
I am coming way late... but schools are not all the "higher learning" pristine places they pretend to be. Money is an important factor.
One way I like to summit colleges, If you don't think they are worried about money at all, try and get your grades released/graduate, with a $0.15 library fine.

I think I was able to graduate with close to $40 in library fines. Not sure what the cutoff was.

These threads are getting ridiculous. I suspect that they are started by people who either failed out of college, couldn't get in college, or didn't try and now regret it...
The plain fact of the matter is, people with a college education...ANY degree....will earn significantly more over their lifetime than someone who doesn't have one.
This is not a guarantee that a college education will get you a great job, or a great salary. Life has no guarantees. That said, take 100 people with degrees, and 100 without...which group is going to be better off after, say, 10 years down the road?
This whole thing about colleges ripping you off, college degrees aren't worth it...complete and utter poppycock spouted by people who don't know better.
