    the article only goes to 2007

    Heh, how appropriate for me - it's the year of my life I associate the most with getting stupidly rat-arsed. :pac:

    Graduates not that long out of college were earning silly money 1998 onwards then the dotcom bubble burst, 9/11. People may have been less obsessed with acquiring illiquid assets that formed the next bubble.
