What is a university education worth?

Overheard snippet of a conversation between three university students from when I was out walking the dogs,

There may be some potentiality to change the rules of the system.

In other words,

Is it worth shelling out the equivalent of a down payment on a house so your kid can learn to speak like that?

Note that my version is not only shorter and clearer, it actually has an agent to do this rule changing. It's not just better style, it's a morally perspicacious way of putting things in that it makes it clear who might do the changing.
