Among several astonishing facts in this article: "Already, [the US is] one of the few countries where 25- to 34-year-olds are less educated than older workers."
Here's another: "Last year, the net cost at a four-year public university amounted to 28 percent of the median family income, while a four-year private university cost 76 percent of the median family income." And another: "Among the poorest families --- those with incomes in the lowest 20 percent --- the net cost of a year at a public university was 55 percent of median income, up from 39 percent in 1999-2000. At community colleges, long seen as a safety net, that cost was 49 percent of the poorest families' median income last year, up from 40 percent in 1999-2000." http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/03/education/03college.html Chris -- Christopher D.
