My Dad paid 100% of my school expenses, and my Grandma sent me spending money every month.
I worked each summer, but so did everyone else I knew.
White teenage males did almost all of the unskilled labor in my little universe in the 1960s.
RE: in my little universe in the 1960s.
My case was father absent and lower middle class. When I see the pampered serial rapist rich frat boys on the Law and Order SVU and other shows I wonder what it would have been like to go through college just studying and relaxing. At one time I had three part time jobs and always had one and usually two. Somehow finished a 4 year degree in four years.
