Around $7,000 in today's money.

My last year of commuter religious sponsored college cost me about $1100 plus books in 1967. I started a 10K a year job right upon graduation and then entered the Army.

Today that same school is 10K a year plus books. That was 50 years ago but at the same time, people graduating from that school now are not making 100K to start either which would equate to a perfect ratio of cost to result. The difference, there was no public funding for college. My night job and my parents came up with the coin and I lived at home.
