As far as music goes, I always like Neil Young as long as I dont listen to the lyrics. His politics are basically stupid. I guess musical talent and making sense dont often go together. I don't know, Ted Nugent might be up your alley. ;-) |

But the average student did not make that much. 1968 the median family wage was $8600. $9600 in major metropolitan areas Only 14.7% made more than $15k. |

Some of us were smarter than you, Bilious, and were able to earn a bit more. At that time, tuition was about $12-15/quarter hour (we had quarters instead of semesters) and a full load was 12-15 quarter hours so it was only about $225/quarter. Rent was a lot more, about $150/month, roaches were a bonus source of protein. In 3 months, I could easily make the $225 even at $1.90/hr at roughly 25 hours/week. Working over summers, I could save enough for most of my rent during the school year. Utilities? This is FL, who needs heat and AC is never required. Food? A bag of flour, a big bag of rice, a bag of pinto beans, cheap vegetables then, cheap eggs, cheap pasta, peanut butter. Entertainment, my gf and I would collect soda bottles for the 5 cent deposit to go to a cheap movie. Today, I am not even sure what my daughter pays for tuition, probably about $1500/semester at a state school. Rent is about $450/month for each girl in a 3 room place. Not gonna let my daughter go hungry and she doesnt eat much anyway so I give her money. We pay her car insurance cuz a chick cannot go everywhere on a bicycle like I did. We pay for her gas in her Toyota Echo so she will come home from Jacksonville every few weeks. She works waiting tables. |

Then, one summer while I was still getting my B.A., I got hired by the KC Star as a reporter for about $85 a week. Big bucks...heheh. By the time the summer ended, I was up to $100 a week and the day city editor and I figured out a way for me to work full-time at the paper (I worked for the morning editions, and reported in at 4:30 pm) *and* continue to attend college full-time. I managed to get all morning classes, did what "homework" I needed to do in the late mornings and early afternoons, and then headed for work four afternoons a week. I also worked Sundays. Since I was a "starving student," the night city editor frequently assigned me to cover a speech at an organization where dinner was being served. This was KC in its agricultural-livestock heyday, so I got to eat a *lot* of steak. Of course, in those days $3 would buy you a top-drawer steak dinner, with all the trimmings, and I don't mean one of those cheap cut Outback steaks, drowned in spicy sauce to cover up the fact that the meat was mediocre. |

That's why he lied about attending Yale. |
