"Cost has nothing to do with value."

Unless you value cost. The value of a degree comes from the story we tell ourselves, and paying $160,000 is part of that story. Most people wouldn't want to go to college if it was free; just look what people were saying when Seth announced his alternative MBA, or look at library participation among 20-somethings for that matter.

I don't know that library participation is so much relevant in the days of instant-access to the ammount of information that is available to us on the internet.
