Things were very cheap back then. Pay was $55 to $100 a week. A floor in a house (two or three story) was $65 a month, a Doctor came to your house Sunday Night at 9 pm and charged you $5 for a injection of PEnnicillin.

Buses were 25 cents. A pay phone call was 10 cents. A Milky Way Bar was a nickel. A two story house sold for $8,500 a new Chevy was $800.

Today is $40,000 a year to go to Harvard so it was probably more like $4,000 a year back then.\

Today it’s $10,000 to go to a big stateuniversity so then it was probably $1,000 or lress

Today it’s $5,000 to go to a secondary state college so then it was probalby $500

A Junior College was probably minimal. Maybe $20 for a student body card not including games and parking. Then maybe $10 each course plus books. So maybe $100-$125 a year for a 2 year college.

Today JCs are about $60 a class and it costs like $1,000 a year including books to go to a JC.
