Quotes by Robert B. Archibald (?)

“Earning a college degree clearly yields a big private benefit to the graduate since there is a large gap in earnings between someone with a college degree and someone whose education stops with high school. This wage gap has widened substantially over the past quarter century, which is one of the factors fueling an increased demand for places in four-year schools. So going to college clearly is an investment decision for each individual.”

“technology leads to lower costs when it replaces workers' salaries. It does the opposite when it requires more highly-trained workers to utilize that technology. Higher education, medicine, dentistry and the legal profession all provide examples.”

“Still, while the behavior of higher education prices is unusual, it is not all that unusual. There are other services whose prices track higher education prices quite closely.”
