I went to college about 10 years after you did (75-79). Tuition, room & board (at the Univ of MD) were just over $2,100/year... I could make most of that working weekends and over the Summer (I worked construction, making $7.50/hr...)
I had plenty of friends who were able to work their way thru college.
My point was that TODAY, that is not possible...
