He got a job as a purchasing agent for the school. One of the benefits was reduced tuition for staff's family.
But I was expected to pay for the actual tuition, so besides carry a full load of classes each semester, I worked three part-time jobs to pay for my schooling.
My highest paying job of the three, paid 90 cents per hour.
Tuition was $145 per semester.
In 1966. Today that would be roughly $1127 a semester using an inflation calculator.
In reality, college today costs about ten times this amount.
