    True. I used to teach at a technical school, oh, a quarter century ago now. Seats were something like $500 per person, and I would have a class of 14 to 18 students. So $7,000 to $9,000 worth of tuition per day.

    I was making $18 an hour, IIRC? $144 a day?

    OH! AND I had to wear a suit and tie every day. So in addition to the usual expenses, there were also drycleaning bills.

    After 9/11 class size shrunk to 2-3 people a day and the school went out of business.
