When I went to a state college in the 1980s it was like $500 a semester. Kids have it really hard compared to previous generations.

@JonLosAngeles66 It basically is no longer possible to work your way through school anymore.

@JonLosAngeles66 Not really. They can just stay out of college and watch the fees drop. Supply and demand. So long as people are willing to pay the colleges will continue to charge. The charges are not set in stone and are not contingent on underlying costs.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow the tuition is now $10.5k per year. That’s way out of range of the inflation rate

@JonLosAngeles66 And good luck trying to find work that will pay you enough to get through uni debt free with high school.
