The problem with this argument is that it lumps all university students
into one category. Yes, they are an investment but unfortunately a lot
of them are a *poor* investment. Unlike the stock market I think that
university education is something that is at least somewhat predictable
and we should be making some decisions about just what types of education
we are willing to subsidize.
