I would say similar, but with a key difference: Nothing inherent in home
ownership would logically increase the borrowers likelihood of paying off a
loan. Whereas college graduates will earn nearly $1 million dollars more in
their life time than a non graduate.

Of course, just giving a poor kid the money to go to college doesn't
guarantee you'll get a graduate....but doing the opposite does guarantee
the inverse.

I don't think there's an education bubble anywhere near as egregious as the
housing bubble.
