In the old days, well before Silicon Valley, students obtained their college spending from the weeks spent working the melon and other fields in the Imperial Valley. That was when college was affordable and California was indeed the Golden State. As VDH, our Jeremiah, is well aware, those days are long gone. Hell,California isn’t even tarnished silver these days.
