On the one hand I got an oil change and my cats vaccinated last weekend, and my credit is improving. On the other hand I haven’t gone grocery shopping in months.

I turn 29 in less than a month and I’m honestly still not sure where I stand on this whole Being an Adult thing.

Hours Worked On Minimum Wage In Order To Pay For One University Credit Hour

*Flings this chart at baby boomers*

The 1979 student would have to work about 10 weeks at a part-time job (~203 hours) — basically, they could pay for tuition just by working part-time over the Summer. In contrast, the 2013 student would have to work for 35 ½ weeks (~1420 hours) — over half the year — at a full-time job to pay for the same number of credit hours. If you’ve ever attended college full-time, you know that this is basically impossible.
