Naw, East Texas. They were both teaching school for a little under $20K each.

I remember that I qualified for the "poor kid" school lunch program when I was in high school.

I liked those little rectangular pizzas. Wednesday was pizza day. I'd have 2 for lunch. Which killed me during track season.

Tuesdays was hamburger day. I LOVED those nasty little hamburgers.

The ones they baked, but still had the grill marks? Eww. Never could eat those.

Was that before or after Reagan(God bless him) decided ketchup was a vegetable?

I hope it is. THe only other vegetables I eat are potato chips and french fries. Counting ketchup is what helps me get in all my veggie points each day.

I got an academic scholarship that covered my $2k/yr tuition costs, and had a 30-hr week job that paid up to $9 for other things.

My wife, a minority (with better high school grades than I had), got paid to go to school.

And yeah, MIS degree = not much in the real world from the ones I've had work for me in the past.
