“I went to college...and paid for it all myself. No loans...
I have a good paying job.”
Me too. Cost me $1100 per year tuition room and board. Got a second degree too. Both skills-oriented.
You know what $1100 gets a student No? One months rent in a house shared with prayers, roaches and a purple shag carpet.
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.
