” my education cost a bit less than $10,000.”

Yep, back in die guten alten zeiten, local Community College was $900 per semester.
CA was free for a very long time.
CUNY Schools were world class institutions, a working family man could afford to get a degree going to night school.

First school that gets back to that, wins.

** Methinks the Internet may finally address it’s true calling.

When I attended Rutgers University in the mid-late 80's, in-state tuition was $1800/year. Today? $16,263. That's a 903% increase.

Meanwhile, in 1986, the median income for families was $29,460. In 2023? $67,521. That's a 229% increase.

So, tuition over that period increased almost four times faster than median income. Today's colleges are borderline criminal grifters.
