          <description><![CDATA[
Gone are the days when going to graduate school meant only a career in academics or a move up the corporate ladder. The Ph.D. and the MBA have been joined by an alphabet full of flexible and employment-relevant degrees. Graduate schools have kept up with the needs of students and their concerns about time and money by developing programs that meet specific needs.

          <description><![CDATA[
The Project on Student Debt reports that salaries students earn at graduation are not keeping pace with the increases in what they owe for their education. The study found that students graduating with loans in 2007 owed an average of $20,098, compared with $18,976 for the Class of 2006. That was a 6 percent increase, while earnings for 18- to 24-year-olds with bachelor&#8217;s degrees rose only 3 percent over the same period.

Virginia&#8217;s college students may have registered to vote in unprecedented numbers this year, but many won&#8217;t have their campus newspapers suggesting who to vote for. Newspapers have a long tradition of endorsing candidates but some college editors said picking candidates is not part of the role they play.
