The cornerstone of this statistical conclusion is that you will invest the money you will use for college, however the fact is if you try and loan out the money that you need to go to college for any other purpose, that loan will be a lot more expensive that what you would get from a student loan. Also, the chances of you getting that loan is slim.

If you already have that kind of money with you and you are going to invest you own money for college then these arguments have a little more statistical weight. However, if you have that kind of money, you are probably already rich and wealthy at which point, you already have a good business/income and this delta that you would invest into that business will not yield you significantly more income than what you already have. At this point, its still better to go get a college degree.
