And sure you earn more but how much debt are you taking out......
Also to consider about that debt is the time in your life that you are giving up. College is a lot of work and when you are in it you can do very little else except in the summers. 18-22 to get a bachelors degree and perhaps a decade of work to pay off your loans. That means you'll be 30 before you are free to do what you want.
