It cost me a total of $2400 in tuition money to get from Freshman to MSChE. in the early sixties.

Of course, for $2400 you could also buy a brand new Ford Mustang in those days.

I have no idea what a new Mustang costs. $30,000??? That’s less than a year and a half of state university. Look no further than the housing crash (brought on by easy loans, the idea that everyone should own a home, etc.) to see where this ends up.

My lib sister was talking about some friend who got rich in computers then went broke trying to sell high-end cars. “But, now that they are broke the government will pay for there daughter’s college!” (SERIOUSLY!!!!????)

I saw on a thread here a couple of days ago that the average student debt was $28,000, which, coincidently, is about as much as a new Mustang costs.
