in '71, it was still possible to work your way through college.
I went to a local community college, got a work-ship, and it
wasn't till I went to a two-year University I started feeling
the bite. I worked two jobs at a time during the summers, and
pa-time jobs during the school terms, and still had a hard time
keeping up. Books were outrageously expensive, even used, and
prices just kept going up. I could have kicked kids who whined
that they were only there cause Mom and Dad "made" them, and
especially the dweeb who said he chose USF in ampa "'cause it's
close to Disney World." Costs kept rising, and I finally had to
drop out. I joined the Army and got the GI Bill, and went back a
few years after I got out.
