“Who in this class is willing to admit that they are here at Carleton on no financial aid — that your parents are able to pay the full $60,000 a year for you to come here? Raise your hand.”
My professor is an investigative journalist, and he is about to explain to us how he goes about finding the 400 richest people in America and their net worth for Forbes Magazine.
Two beats of silence. I know that this is true for half of all Carleton students. Two people in my class raise their hands.
I myself am not on any financial aid. My parents are casually doling out $60,000 a year for my Carleton education, but I don’t raise my hand.
I don’t raise my hand because I’m ashamed.
