WTF happened in 1971? This.

EXACTLY

Jeez

Ahh back when they were not slaves

Have only heard about those days

WTF

That's what broken money looks like in the rearview...

I think that's back when public schools had some education involved in their process too.

Yup. My tuition was $1000 in 1975.

was it cheap? i mean compared to the general consuming prices in 1971

Yep and now tuition is about 6k a semester….

And no job security.

Current tuition rate $4656 + $720 fees for $5376 total.

Indicates an inflation rate of 6.78% per year.

That's about 4.5 oz of gold at the time, which is now about $18,000 now for a semester, or $36,000 for a full year.

To compare, in-state tuition for West Virginia University today is $30k and for out of state $45k.

This isn't the deal you think it is because inflation has completely broken our sense of money.
