I got 2 points thrown at me, but then there was this whole arms race discussion on tuition.

First, from engineering I did get a writing job. Though it took a while for me to figure out how to write. I had to write tomes on how an industry was fairing in the world.
And Bostonian, I agree that 7% inflation adjusted might be conservative but tuition increases have been increasing per decade, so I would rather be conservative in college savings account. And there is the impact of foreign universities upping the arms race. There are all these schools in mideast, China and India trying to get on the top 20 list and locals are investing research dollars in them. US schools are going to have a hard time competing with them over the next 10 years, they have very aggressive plans.

And I also am glad that I have the Canadian university option.
