The most interesting thing is probably that in 1982 or whatever you could find a nice summer gig, work 20h/week for the summer, and pay a full academic year and a computer.
- mod 5y agoHe specifically noted that his tuition was paid for. He was paying for supplies & incidentals. Also $400/week in 1982 was fantastic money for an 18 year old. So a normal school-kid could not, in fact, replicate this.
