Hey Ralph, I started at $1.65 too, in a construction company, but man the double overtime after 35 hours was great! Best, Leland -----Original Message----- From: Kitty tortillas!

On the other hand, armed with this information, I will feel a lot less bad about the Little Ralphs going to Union County Community College, since I started at $1.65. Assuming their grades are good enough to get in, of course. Interesting story in DMI Times this morning about U of Chicago (I think that's the school), where money passed along by the State and and tuition only cover 51% of the costs of educating the little bastards, and the Feds are leaning on the colleges to "do more with less."
