I worked my way through college.

me too. security guard while i attend pitt. my dad was an unemployed
steel worker on the n. side of pittsburgh. hardly the stuff of
legend.

ever seen the movie 'platoon'? that pretty much the neighborhood i
grew up in.

I paid my daughters. She graduated
when she was 21. Started a business, and saved her money. Dad did
remodel the condo. But it was a $370K purchase price, Now worth $700k+.
And steel workers were highly paid. Your dad blow it all? My mom was
an RN. And they made a lot less than a steelworker.

really? how much does a steelworker own when the mill shuts down and
puts 500,000 people out of a job nationwide?
