    Sitcoms are in trouble and Conan's moved to L.A. ... It really is a bad time to be graduating from Harvard.

    I am deflated because he looks about 10. Is he the Doogie Howser graduate or have I just slipped into the AARP crowd without my knoweledge or consent?

    OK, on an entirely serious note: holy shit I'm glad that I'm not graduating college today into this job market, especially with $100k in Ivy League debt. I would be completely freaked the fuck out. What exactly are these kids doing tomorrow?

    @Astigmatism: Harvard, Yale, and Princeton give out enormous amounts of grant-based aid nowadays. Very few people, if anyone, would be leaving with that level of debt.

    @easternsike: It’s the least they can do, given the size of the endowments they control—and given their stated commitment to merit-based admission irrespective of socio-economic class.

    @iplaudius: It would be great if they'd enacted said policies before I racked up six figures of college debt of my own, but better late than never, I suppose. But how safe do you think those policies are, given what the market's done to those endowments?
