My first summer job (1964) as a labourer making basements paid $1/hr and
that was a lot more than I had been earning with a paper route. My
first summer job after hitting university paid $4.25. Man, I was rolling
in money. My tuition was only $515. Now it would be $6500, and I would
be lucky to find a job that paid as well.
