> People who go to college have higher lifetime incomes that folks that don't.

The stat you are trying to cite relates to graduating college, not simply "going to". Currently the 4 year graduation rate is ~40%, and the 6 year graduation rate only around 60%.

That is an incredible population to have yoked with debt through their most productive years with nothing to show for it.
