Now you're beginning to sound like the generation that talks about paying for college with their summer job, which has rapidly become close to impossible over the last few decades. Sure, if you have scholarships and such.
Standard in-state sticker price is now $20,000/year; which would require 69 weeks of work at 40 hours per week before you even account for taxes.
- russell_h 11y agoI agree with your sentiment, but the $20,000/year "sticker price" number is way off. The first result Google turns up suggests: In 2015-16, average published tuition and fee prices for in-state students at public four-year institutions range from $4,890 in Wyoming and $6,350 in Montana to $14,990 in Vermont and $15,160 in New Hampshire. http://trends.collegeboard.org/college-pricing/figures-tables/2015-16-state-tuition-and-fees-public-four-year-institutions-state-and-five-year-percentage http://trends.collegeboard.org/college-pricing/figures-table...

Sure, if you have scholarships and such. Not in the least. In fact, the wife and I are still paying off the $90,000 in loans she racked up during college, 20 years ago. However, a part time job a few days a week, to pay for things the loans didn't, was beneficial. Going out with friends, a few amenities, etc.
