Ben Carlson: Is College Worth The Cost?

FYI: Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian gave some advice to young people in a recent interview with the New York Times:

What’s your advice for college grads?

Do you really need to go to college? There is a huge student loan debt problem in this country. I think there’s going to need to be a drastic change in how these universities work. And I also think we’ve lambasted the trades for way too long. You can make six figures as a welder.

These kinds of statements irk me, especially when they come from rich entrepreneurs. This line of thinking reeks of survivorship bias.
Regards,
Ted
