The making and selling of drugs have a long history and are closely linked, like medical practice itself, with the belief in magic. Only during the last hundred years or so has the development of scientific techniques made it possible for some of the causes of symptoms to be understood, so that more accurate diagnosis has bee possible. The doctor is now able to follow up the correct diagnosis of many illnesses with specific treatment of their causes. In many other illnesses, of which the causes remain unknown, it is still limited, like the unqualified prescriber, to the treatment of symptoms. The doctor is trained to decide when to treat symptoms only and when to attack the cause: this is the essential difference between medical prescribing and selfmedication. 　　The advance of technology has brought about much progress in some fields of medicine, including the development of scientific drug therapy.

The result: 54,000 fewer students. 　　Collapsing Investments 　　Many families thought they had a surefire plan: even if tuition kept skyrocketing, they had invested enough money along the way to meet the costs. Then a funny thing happened on the way to Wall Street. Those investments collapsed with the stock market. Among the losers last year: the wildly popular 529 plans—federal taxexempt college savings plans offered by individual states, which have attracted billions from families around the country. We hear from many parents that what they had set aside declined in value so much that they now don39。s very lucky: Nadine based her calculation on landing a job right out of law school that will pay her at least $120,000 a year. 　　Dependent on Loans and Credit Cards 　　The American Council on Education has its own calculation that shows how students are more and more dependent on loans. In just five years, from 1995 to 2000, the median loan debt at public institutions rose from $10,342 to $15,375. Most of this es from federal loans, which Congress made more tempting in 1992 by expanding eligibility (home equity no longer counts against your assets) and raising loan limits (a dependent undergraduate can now borrow up to $23,000 from the federal government). 　　But students aren39。Donnell told him.
