I don't have any debt whatsoever, but judging from what many of what non liberal successful people have scientifically demonstrated, it seems to be that college might be a trap and hindering potential gains. What are your answers to the above responses?

Is there any reason why the two equations have value on one but price on the other if they are the same thing when algebraic ally manipulated? Or do they mean the same thing?
