Women take longer to pay off their student loans... and it's not a result of shoe shopping. This is really frustrating for me, actually. Why is it that still, in 2008, women are still not paid equally for the same job. They have to pay the same amount to get the same education as the men in their schools.

Current correspondent Kaj Larsen is in the process of shooting a story on the exponential growth of college admissions.College admissions have increased over 20% in the last four years. Admissions offices are sweltering with applications and more and more students are being rejected from the top schools. For example, Harvard this year rejected 1100 applicants with perfect SATs. At the same time tuition costs are soaring. This is creating incredible pressure on young Americans and their parents. If you are someone who's in college, in grad school, planning on going to college or grad school, or with kids planning on or in grad school (or are just interested in this topic!) we need to hear your voice! We need your help with completing this story and would like to include as many different opinions and experiences on this issue as we can.
