my dad kept very close track of all my college expenses, tuition, room, board, books, travel, walking around cash....about 51k in total. my first job paid the princely sum of 27k/yr, so about a 2:1 ratio....now....same university estimates it's about 40k/yr, and starting salaries for engineers have not gone up as fast....yep, kids are screwed.
