Yeah, my father was born in 1913, my mother in 1916. She was a high school graduate, he was an eigth grade dropout. They lived through the depression and at the end of their lives were not rich but were far, far wealthier than when they started. How about a return to that, rather than the current day when people spend fortunes to get a university degree and still have an eighth grade education at best and take jobs that my parents would have laughed at and all too often expect their parents or grandparents to support them until they are forty or older?
