What Education "Buys"

In the TIMES article, the author notes that the American colledge education seems to be highly overrated. Students pour way too much money into an education that will not give them any particular direction in life after school.
Caldwell believes that the push to lower the cost for a college education was a step in the right direction, but the college experience is only ideal for a certain amount of the American population. Some people ar right for college, and some are not, according to Caldwell.

Friedman would say that Caldwell's idea is a bit pessimistic. That only a certain amount of people can achieve success in college is subjective and does not show the endless possibilities and resources college can give.
Friedman would also believe that Caldwell does not embrace the globalized world. Caldwell references French culture and schooling. He believes that the French have a better understanding of education, and make more possibilities for French students. Friedman would oppose Caldwell because Friedman believes the world is connected. Through globalization and the "3.0" theory, all countries are connected and have the potential of using similar resources.
