[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 74096365, member: 326155"] And let me state some personal figures on that: When I went to the University of Oklahoma back in the early 70s, the tuition was $25 per credit hour. I was making $2.50 an hour working part time. So it took only thirty or forty hours of part time work (a week and a half to two weeks) to pay for a one-semester course. I could pay the full semester's tuition in half the semester with part-time work. Today, that same university charges $400 per credit hour. No student is earning $40 an hour in part-time work (well, not in honest work). No student today can "pay as you go" by working the way I could. [/QUOTE]
