I was at UCM during that period and I made enough money in the summer to pay for my tuition and books for the year. I worked for a company in KC that manufactured roofing materials and I earned union wages. I loaded trucks and boxcars swinging 90 lbs rolls of roofing and 80 lbs bundles of shingles. The regular guys rode my ass for being a 'college kid'. I made it a point to bust my ass and after a couple of weeks I didn't hear anymore of the 'college kid' crap.
I had several friends from out of state. Lots from Iowa and the midwest, but also lots of kids from the east coast because of the lower cost.
