!! In college I had a union job as a construction laborer and the money
was way better than anything else available to college kids. But not
even close to $9.60, adjusted for inflation. In fact, in 1967 I had
been working as an electrical engineer for 5 years and I wasn't making
close to $9.60. A job like that makes you wonder why you're going to
college!
