<prompt> Human: College tuition has been rising faster than inflation for a long time now. This trend cannot continue indefinitely. If the trend continues a while longer, at some point, we will reach a price point where it isnt worth it to go to college. I dont think we are at that point yet, but we will get there if prices continue to outpace inflation.As I contemplate saving for my childrens educations, I have to wonder how long this trend can continue. News today says college is still a great deal: Im a firm believer in education, but I also cant ignore these trends. We really need education reform. I have to wonder if things like Kahn Academy will ever become mainstream acceptable like a four year degree. Thoughts?  <response>: I think you get as much out of college as you put in and I dont mean financially.You can go to a really prestigious, expensive private school, but it means nothing if you dont pursue summer internships, networking opportunities, and other extracurriculars.Or, you can choose to go to community college, attend every networking event, apply for every summer internship you can, and be way more successful.If you put in the effort beyond showing up to class, college is a great learning experience that can be instrumental in shaping your career success. But it not the only path to success.
