Yeah, I paid my way through college and law school, working two or three jobs, and chasing girls at the same time. But things are different these days. Back then, in college, tuition, room and board (inedible though it may have been), were less than 1K per semester and student loans were impossible to get. Later, when student loans became commonplace, so much money was out there to spend on tuition, the cost of everything connected with it became horribly inflated. Honestly, it would be much harder to work your way through now.
