— Should children have skin in the game for college? You bet – Steve Rosen  (DIERSEN: What percent of your college expenses came from money that you earned? For me, it was 100%, but my outstanding parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete a) while I was a full-time student at UIC 1966-1968, b) during weekends my first semester at NIU in 1969, and c) the summer of 1969. I paid for my college expenses and for new cars with money that I earned washing dishes 1964-1966; cleaning golf shoes, chipping slag, and pumping gasoline in 1966; delivering mail 1966-1969; and working on an automobile assemble line and as a security guard in 1970. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes stress that college expenses were much lower back then and that UIC and NIU are not Ivy League schools.)
