I can't comment on the tuition subject as funding for Canadian Universities is very different compared to the US. I realize that US Universities must charge much more tuition because they do not receive government funding like our institutions do. However, this article focuses only on one aspect of higher education and that is $$$$$. It is easy to say that Bill Gates didn't go to University and he is a billionaire but there is more to life than just money and exceptions like Mr. Gates (I love it when someone makes a general arguement based on exceptions but that is a different subject).

If no one went to University in the future; who will be our doctors, engineers, lawyers, teachers, etc? Certainly over-spending by students is a problem but the money tends to be spent on more than just tuition, books, food, and other essentials. Many of those that end up deep in debt have probably spent a lot on what could be considered, non-essential luxury items.
