College Debt Revisited

Remember when we discussed the huge college debt crisis a few months ago?

A young lady wrote me and asked what I thought of the logo displayed today. I was honest with her and told her I like the data but I didn't care for the graphic. I am not a graphic artist but many of you have good taste. What is your honest opinion of it?

I said it may appeal more to the age I believe it is aimed at and that I may be too old and set in my ways to appreciate it. I think that's a fair assessment. Do you?

College debt and college expenses have been in the news more since that earlier blog. Here is a summary I took from the link I just posted in the sentence before, a general google search on college debt news.

" With college enrollment growing, student debt has stretched to a record number of U.S. households — nearly one in five — with the biggest burdens falling on the young and poor.

The analysis by the Pew Research Center found that 22.4 million households, or 19 percent, had college debt in 2010. That is double the share in 1989, and up from 15 percent in 2007, just prior to the recession — representing the biggest three-year increase in student debt in more than two decades."

I don't know how the graphic will turn out since it is large. I will post it and see how it looks and if I get time I will try to tweek it. Jeff in Minnesota just sent me a movie of trying to scrape ears off the ground with an IH cornhead. I saw the field in our trip and Jeff was able to put ears on corn that nearly died early this spring.

We are not scraping ears off the ground today but we are shelling corn across the covered bridge. It is testing about the same moisture and yield variance we saw here at the house a week ago today.

Soon the grandkids will be here and none of this will matter!

Have a great weekend,

Ed
