"The best investment you can make is in yourself." ~Warren Buffet
He's absolutely right. As long as you remain alive and able bodied, your investment is protected and will yield a return and you will derive the enjoyment and benefit from that return directly, without delay and continuously.
I'll add one caveat: Before you go and spend $120,000 on an education, make sure you are acquiring the knowledge and other assets you hope to gain in the most efficient and cost effective way as possible.
The quote is spot-on. Almost every investment in oneself will generate a healthy ROI in the long run in my opinion.
Minor footnote: Maybe it is just a pet peeve of mine but I cannot count how many times I have seen the name of Warren Buffett spelled as Warren Buffet. (http://www.google.com/search?q=warren+%2Bbuffet)
