I went to school in Colombia for Computer Engineering in one of the best universities in the country, and I am doing my Masters on Software Engineering in Spain. The cost has not even equaled one semester of collage in the US!

If you are accumulating +50k or more on college debt, is definitely NOT worth it. I did enjoy my University time (I love studying and doing research), learned a lot, but do I think is 100% worth it? No.
I work with some very talented people that didn't get any university education and in my opinion are way better engineers than me. I also know people that have graduated from MIT and suck badly.

It's all about you.
