I paid for the first two years of medical school as a temp city letter carrier in the summers, $5.86/hour when the minimum wage was $1.60.
Of course, tuition was $1600/year and New York State paid half.
Tuition now is $90,000/year. That’s a lot of copies of LOOK magazine and the Long Island Catholic through the slot.
Ya. SUNY took good care of my education as well. Now tuition in my degree is $38000 per year. One has to think of the way above the rate of inflation increase in tuition long before slamming these kids.
