Kitsune - Any chance you might have a link to that. I do not doubt you; I would just like to see that data (or if you have a name for the report, I might be able to track it down).

I'd actually love to and will see if I can contact my old prof and have him dig it up or look through my notes if I can find them. It was a very interesting collection of studies and also included an analysis of why state governments give students financial aid. The general idea is that students that graduate tend to stay in the area and return the money invested in them by the state.

Needless to say, a massive argument errupted between students on this. The classroom quickly divided in half and some shouting matches were escalated. When the study on where National Debt is owed to came out, it only got worse.

Damn, I miss those classes -- they were fun!
