The average yearly tuition in America right now is about $30,000. That's still a ton of hours needed to work, and often impossible for full-time students, plus the fact that it has become drastically more difficult and competitive to get a job, any kind.
I think the point is it was easier to go to a high end school then, but now it's damn near impossible to get the same kind of college on a résumé since it's so expensive. So the more privileged kids who can go to those schools get the better jobs easier since they don't have to worry about minimum wage.
The point is: using one school as an indicator of rising tuition costs. Using more than one school would not be accurate because the cost may vary between two schools during the same year. Using an average may not be an accurate reflection because the ratio between state college and Ivy League may change and skew the results. Using Uncle Pete's College of Trench Digging and Nose Picking in Fort Hither, Alabama won't necessarily show an accurate national tend. Yale is a lasting school that not only most people have heard of, but folks from all over the country attend. It's just one example, however, to show the trend of rising tuition costs. Even if you go to a state college, the cost has gone up over the last 45 years.
Most ivy leagues have very large endowments to help offer scholarships and financial aid. Also, many ivy leagues like Harvard and Yale offer completely free tuition to people whose parents have a household income of less than $65,000. Stanford is similar to an Ivy League institution and it offers free tuition to students with household incomes of less than $125,000. Most of these schools also offer need-blind admissions. So, if you are too 'poor' to afford these schools off of your parents' salary, then you most likely qualify for the free tuition.
* whispers * but that's just how much you'd need to work for tuition, you also need to be able to lay for food and a place to live, and you can't work 24 hours a day.
Hell, even working 17.3 hours a day to go to school doesn't leave you enough time to sleep or actually go to school
So, it really does make it impossible

Plenty of other schools out there. They all teach the same things.
