I had a full time job to pay for college. I never thought about taking loans.

I was a certified welder busting my arse in the hot Fresno sun paying my way through college. Now, I would imagine that was somehow racist. Work is for chumps.

I also worked to pay for college. I didn’t even know you COULD take a loan for that (in the ‘60s).

I got a couple hundred bucks from the Coast Guard and that was it. That paid for my welding classes. After that, I welded in the early AM before class,

Amen. Fresno State was about $3000 a semester when I was there. That was so affordable with a couple weeks of pay.

I had the pleasure of taking history courses from Victor Davis Hansen who live just a few miles away on his raisin farm. Now... the commie MFrs put up a statue of that commie thug Caesar Chavez on campus. Ech.

I got one. From the North Avenue Trade School. All it cost me was 8 years in service and the GI bill. And working part time as a tech on campus. Finished in 12 straight quarters...
