WILLOW PALIN GRADUATES! WILLOW PALIN GRADUATES! Etc. Good job, Wills, we are happy at ya for graduating from what your sainted mother describes as a "hair and skin academy," where you went on foreign exchanges (to Juarez we are guessing?) and visited "the sets of major media productions" (like Dancing With the Stars?) and did other stuff too. Also you are an "entrepreneur" with a strong work ethic, although we are not sure your mother knows what "entrepreneur" means, because to our knowledge you are not that. But it's cool! Nobody but your mother expects you to be! You are by far the best Palin girl, as your sister -- you remember her, the one who was always
In the late 60's (and here's another reason to hate on Early Boomers), the cost of in-state tuition at state schools was still pretty cheap. I graduated in '69, and I don't think tuition was ever more than $500 a semester.
Now, inflation had already started to hit the private schools. I decided to forego Socially-Inept Institute of Nerd, and Snooty Garden State University, because my schoolteacher parents made too much for me to get a fucking grant, and I didn't want to start life with two or three years income worth of debt.
I enjoyed my four years at Midwestern Hotbed of Treason, but I have occasionally wondered how life would have been different with an Ivy degree. One thing for sure, I would have been in debt.
This may be true recently, but historically it was more like
1. Elite private schools raised tuition because they could.
2..Other private schools raised tuition because the elites did.
3. Shit-for-brains state legislatures looked at the rate that private-school tuition was increasing and said "Why should we be subsidizing colleges when it's such a growth biz? Taxpayers, something something" and cut funding sharply.
4. Public schools raised tuition because the state funding was cut, and it does actually cost something to run a university.
5. SFB state legislatures say to selves "That went well", and cut funding further.
You're so jealous that she can make cutting Tweet-its with the single letter 'T'. Now that's putting a highfalutin' communications degree to good use.

The one with more brains than any four random Wonketters combined, yesssss.
One imagines the graduation requirements are quite customized, though. They can't need to dust off the podium all that often.
Vocational training is a lifelong endeavor.
Well, shit, that&#039;s exaclly how it <i>feels</i>.

She&#039;s always been Paliniated from demonstrable facts.
