<p>I understand your point of by saving or investing that 100k and going to a cheaper school may be more beneficial financially in the long run. </p>
<p>Investing 100k at 20 years old and using ‘rule of 72’, your money would actually be in the 1.6 million ballpark at the age of 65. However, investing money gradually up to 100k wouldn’t get you near the same return. </p>
<p>And 10k was just a number I threw out there, but I am convinced the Columbia name alone can get anyone more income - if they look for it.</p>
