Quick post - Thank God for the BBC

Wow. So, here you don't get that magic number of how most people with college degrees graduate with just 23K in debt. That's right. The lame number that's an average and eagerly gobbled up by every journalist in the U.S. AND A. isn't mentioned! It's the one that's been generated by the less than respectable College Board and puked up left and right by lazy reporters in the U.S. who clearly don't give a rat's a--- about the story they are covering when it comes to the student lending crisis. Again, the College Board used to be a lender itself, so why are they regarded as reliable?

Instead, the BBC is talking about the $200,000 price tag of going to good schools here. They also ask good questions (gasp!) . . . What? What's that all about? The article actually raises good questions about the cost of going to school in the U.S. If you haven't read this piece yet, I highly recommend you do now.
