Does an opportunity cost have value?

opportunity cost can have a value, especially if you are looking at such things as the college/job thing. If you go to college rather than take a job, your opportunity cost is the amount of money you lose from not working at the job. Opportunity cost does not always have to have a value. Again with the college/job example, if you take a job rather than go to college, your opportunity cost can be things like more education and college memories, etc. Opportunity cost is simply "what you give up". Therefore, if you are giving up money, your opportunity cost has a monetary value. If you are giving up education or experience or the like, your opportunity cost technically has no monetary value, but you are still giving something up. Hope that answers the question.
