I worked on a blast furnace in the summers to pay for college; so I would not have debt when I graduated. What kid does that anymore?? You were GLAD to go back to school in the fall. An incentive to improve your lot in life; for sure. I walked around and stepped over molten iron and slag like a running creek. Hot, Nasty and DANGEROUS. Before OSHA.
Most College kids nowadays wouldn’t have a clue about working their way through College. I mowed lawns, delivered pizza, worked construction. Any thing to pay the bills.
