I graduated in 73 and was making 4 bucks an hr for my day job and 1.65 for my night job.

Man you were rich. I graduated in '73 and was working for a farmer for 1.25 per hour from 7AM to 7PM 6 days a week. I came from a small farming town in South Dakota and there were not many choices as to wher you could work.

I really think I was making 2.25 an hour.  Still at that I did get a car or two.  I had several friends I could get cars cheap from.  You would not believe the deals I got and could have got.  That is how I got to go to college was buying and selling cars.  I would buy at below wholesale and the sell at wholesale prices.  Made some good money doing that. Just wish I would have kept some I got and a lot of the parts I either sold or gave away.

I gratuated in 74 and worked construction between my junior and senior year of high school and was making $3.25 an hour in Nebraska. Must of been good pay as the farmers I worked for only paid  me $1.00 an hour. Went to trade college after high school and worked for the same construction company after I got my degree and was making $5.25 in 1977. Wish I could go back and have the money to order me 4 1971 Cuda's 2-Hemi's 1-440-6 pack and 1-340. All would be 4-speed billboard cars and loaded with the options I would of wanted.

As time goes on I like to say just the opposite, Good lord you are young

You missed out on so much by being young.    

[426HEMI]

I agree too bad you missed out on all of the fun.   

[ViperMan]

Yeah, waiting in lines to buy 5 gallons of gas, the World Wars, stock market crashes, bell-bottoms... 

yeah I really miss the old days.. 

Jeff

Hey wait a minute! What's was wrong with bell bottoms?
Look what kids wear today, looks like they have deep oil pans from the rear 
But times do change, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worst...

[rallyechall]

Sure, we had a better vocabulary back then too. Unlike todays kids and their atrocious lack of grammatical knowledge. Who can forget such gems as "It's a rip-off", "Keep on Trucking", and Groovy. Let us not forget "Dyn-O-Mite" and "What's Happening". Those were the days.

as did I .. I was born in 73. given the choice to go back an start over at any time in history I would have chosen to be born so that I would have been in high school some time between the early 60s to 70s.

[BIGSHCLUNK]

I'm getting nostagic reading this post. All the grads of 73!!   

[ViperMan]

Hey now,

I wear my pants around my waste like you're supposed to.  I have no piercings, I start my sentences with capital letters whether writing a business letter or chatting online.  I used to yell at my sisters when they would send me messages with phrases like "r u there," or "ok i c..."  I'd tell 'em "If you can't type to me like a mature individual don't type to me at all."

And also let's not forget, I own a car from the early 70's.  You could say I'm "livin' it up" as best I can. 

In fact, just this past weekend I was talking to my wife - when the 'Cuda's all finished (years from now,) I want to take it across country and cruise Route 66.
