    It IS the smartest of the stupidest moves for some of us. I make much more money than I would have without a degree, so I'll still come out financially ahead. In would have been so much nicer to have gotten a decent education and not be saddled with enough debt to buy a small house (at the time, before the housing market went insane), though.
