Graduated in 83. No offense but you are a dinosaur. I am too I graduated in 88. However the world we went to school in just doesn’t exist anymore. Easy credit and a couple decades have drastically changed the landscape. Tuition has skyrocketed everywhere. Saying you debt free in 83 is like saying you use to buy gas for 50 cents a gallon. Those days are gone forever.
Students used to be able to work their way through college when college was a couple grand per semester. Tuition nowadays is 20 grand and up to 60 grand a year ( undergraduate NOT not graduate school). Part time jobs cannot cover that. Hell full time jobs for kids won’t cover that and allow them time to go to school.
It’s a completely different world now. It’s silly to use 3 1/2 decades old cost to compare.

Thanks for the best laugh that I will have all day——I graduated in 1954.

Many full time jobs for ADULTS won't cover todays costs and allow them time to go to school.
When I was younger I couldn't afford school but had plenty of time. Now Im older and would like to go back and take advantage of free college (state program for vets) but cant seem to find the time working 60-92 hours a week.
