Going to college is supposed to give you the skills and knowledge to succeed in society (which in turn *should* make you successful in the workforce). I don't know what you're majoring in, but seeing as you are posting on/. I will assume you are an aspiring engineer or computer scientist. You are probably investing in an education that will give you good returns later in life, but education isn't always everything.
You're better off spending your money on physical fitness, whether it be on a personal trainer, yoga lessons (great way to meet chicks by the way), etc. A lean muscular body will give you more confidence and will help you land a job (the next time you're at a career fair try flirting with the HR reps--it works). Plus you'll live longer. Don't invest your money now and die of a heart attack at age 50 before you can enjoy the money you saved today.
(If you're already in great shape then ignore everything I just said)

price jacked to infinity. So what if people pay every last penny they have for the thing? It's better than dying from it.
