Best point made in the article: "College is an oversubscribed resource". This rings factual, and I think it would be useful to discuss the ramifications of oversubscription. And the extremely high cost despite oversubscription. And MIT doesn't count because... it's not oversubscribed as you generally learn industrially-applicable information there. Contrast with Yale, Columbia, or Vassar. This also goes for art schools- you can use those learned skills in industry.
