The importance of higher education is under suspicion. Although the number of American students enrolled in colleges of the country is greater than ever, the combination of a number of factors such as increased costs, the growth of student debt and declining employment prospects, has led to a growing number of critics to wonder if the student invests in upstream is doing a good business.

“We are in a bubble in the education sector a bubble [...] as bad as those we have experienced in the technology sector in the 90′s, and in the real estate sector in 2000.” – Peter Thiel, cofounder of PayPal. “In all the studies done, the data are clear. Higher education significantly increases the potential for income.” – Vivek Wadhwa, educator and entrepreneur. “It’s a matter of opinion. What aim is to give people the opportunity to make the choice they deem most appropriate for them. ” – Eric Bradlow, Wharton marketing professor. Peter Thiel, a founder of PayPal, is one of the leading critics of such of investment. For him, higher education has become a dangerous bubble.

Few people questioned the economic value of an education at least, superior to high school, as income tends to rise sharply with the acquisition of higher level studies. What remains to be determined is who will benefit from an experience of four years provided by higher education, and what the feasible alternatives. “There is no single path to the finish line,” says Eric Bradlow, Wharton marketing professor. “The education system should lead to many opportunities.
