According to the National Center for Education Statistics, average in-state tuition and fees at a public four-year university in 1978 were around $688 per year (about $3,500 in today’s dollars).

At that time, the federal minimum wage was $2.65/hour. A student working full-time (40 hours per week) over a 12-week summer could make about $1,272 before taxes, enough to cover tuition and fees, with some money left for books or other expenses.

Of course, this didn’t include the cost of room, board, and living expenses, which would have required either family support, part-time work during the school year, or additional savings. But the key point is that tuition alone could realistically be covered by a minimum-wage summer job.

Today, average in-state tuition and fees are about $11,000 per year, while the federal minimum wage is still $7.25/hour. A full-time summer job would bring in about $3,500–$4,000, covering only a fraction of tuition, let alone living expenses.
