As you can see, that barely, if even, covers one semester's tuition, yet alone living expenses or books or anything else. College students are screwed.


while I agree with you, that they are screwed - i routinely worked more than 40 hours a week for 3 years of college. I still had a social life and graduated with a 3.9. It can be done, it just takes discipline.

Also, even if they worked full time all year, at $9/hr, they still would only net approximately $18k before taxes.
