With tuition rising and debt mounting, author Jeffrey Selingo helps parents and students do the math for college.  As college costs rise students either must accept falling deeply into debt in an attempt to rise far above the thousands of others their age in order to stand out in hopes of gaininng employment when there is not enough to go around.  The state of college and student loans is a great example of what is going on in a countries economy.  This is an especially powerful point in America today.
