Why Summer jobs don't pay for school

Quick read.
I worked but still had some family help but this was a state school in late 70's. Costs now are pretty steep. I know the OT loves an education thread.

My scholarships and summer job paid for college 10 years ago
It can still be done
Of course, for that summer job I was working 90-100 hour weeks without a day off for 3 months

You went to school for 10 years?

It's been a while, but I worked two jobs during the summer and a part time job (25 hours a week) while I was in school.

No summer jobs won't pay for college, but a military one will.

My family couldn't afford to pay for my college. I worked 35 hours a week at a bank and lived poor to pay for what TOPS didn't cover/living expenses. My wife had ~10k in student loans when we married that we paid off in 5 years. It was a bitch, but you find a way if it is important to you. America

I think prostitution still pays well.

And then your grandmother gave away your inheritance to a stranger. Life is a bitch.

In 1981-'82, the average full cost to attend was $2,870. That's for tuition, fees and room and board.
I'm a bit skeptical of that.

It must have been hard for you to study with a sore arse all the time.

I worked three jobs to help pay for college (One was only once a week for $100). My first two years were tough, but once I got a partial scholarship, I was able to work less and school more.

No but your mom was very generous.

Sounds right to me. My tuition and books for my Rx degree was under $12,000 total. I graduated in 98.

frick that. If I do anything for 90-100 hours a week it's going to be sleeping.
Or drinking beer.

I'm not, the cost of Mizzou for Tuition when I was there in 1987 was $1,492 I can see and extra $1,400 for R&B five years earlier at a school.

frick that. Students loans can be paid back, getting those months of your life back cannot be done.

Because they're meant for high school kids to earn a little cash.. Not to pay bills/for school.
