This whole notion that beneficiaries should pay is garbage. The logical end of this is a totalitarian dictator that shoves stuff down your throat. The person who should pay is the person doing the buying, acting on their own free will.
As per college, totally agree this is over valued. There are far more efficient ways to learn. The whole system has turned into a tremendously expensive signaling device to future employers that you're willing to commit to something.
Of course there's also a long list of phenomenally successful engineers and businessmen who did fine without it: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell and Thomas Edison to name just a few.
