Next time someone says students should work their way through college, show them this map

What a bunch of hooey. Comparing to the past based upon minimum wages. I doubt there are many examples back then of people working their way through on minimum wage. Those of us who worked our way through college tended to go part-time and worked full-time ‘real’ jobs. (or like DW actually did both full-time) Even more employers today will subsidize tuition for their employees. It is much easier to do it now than it was back then when only a few employers had that type of benefit.

Costs have risen. That is definitely a problem. It is an economic problem brought on by public dollars chasing other public dollars.
