Grace,

I've considered this. Arizona State tuition is only $2500 per semester. For some reason, that doesn't seem all that high to me. I seem to here from the popular media that college education costs on the order of 200k, but I must assume they include room & board, and tuition at the finest Ivy league schools. I imagine that tuition at the high end schools must be substantially outpacing that of state schools. But I've not done the research to confirm this.

On another line, the primary hold back on developing nations and islamic countries is considered to be an educated workforce per Rees-Moog (Great Reckoning). Even in the US, companies place a premium on locations with a large pool of highly educated workers. If this is the case, then it would seem both local and 3rd world governments could boost overall wealth by improving the level of education for all citizens who desire that education. This might drive costs higher as teachers salaries are bid up to attract the best talent. But it should also increase the size of the economic pie, meaning it is a positive sum game, net net.
