If only that were the case, it would be a much better investment.

Depends on the university you go to.

Also, most kids go to college with the mindset that they're there to have fun. If people actually attended college with the intent of getting a job and didn't major in basket weaving (art history majors I'm looking at you) then this figure would be much more likely.

Also depends on location. $60k might be a good entry-level salary in the Valley, but starting salaries are lower in the midwest & east coast where the cost of living is lower.
