    Except we actually had to get a job and pay for everything before the semester started. There was no such thing as a student loan.

      Yeah… That’s less than 8 weeks of work for all 4 years though, that’s a good trade. You could work for one summer and pay for all of college, or work for each summer and pay for college, a car, some spending money and have stuff saved.

      Vs now, where you can work full time all year and still be in the negative, by a lot. And of course if you do that then that’s going to really hurt your studies.

      Did… did you seriously type that out, read it, and then think to yourself “yeah, this is a good argument!” Before you sent it? Because if you did that’s the funniest thing I’ve read all month.

      Except of course there were student loans. "Federal student loans were first offered in 1958 " - wiki. And before that the baby boom generation’s parents had the GI Bill to get them through college.

        White people specifically had access to the GI bill benefits. Black vets were excluded for a long time.

      Oh woe is you; robbed of the opportunity to be indebted for half of your life.

      Are you sure you went to college? This is not the argument you think it is…

      So you had to work 77 hours to pay for your first year? Oooooh the horror.

        Not even two weeks of full time work at minimum wage. Unfathomable.
