its Avery rare that I use that trope though. whats wrong with the '50s is that it was 70 years ago. the community has moved forward since those days.

back then only the wealthy could send their kids to university. there were a few scholarships/bursaries to send 'gifted' kids from poor families to uni, but the great majority were children of wealthy.

when I went to uni in '85, 10 years after Whitlam made university a right for all the be so educated, many students were like me - working their arses off the pay a mortgage and raise a family while attending studies to advance their careers.

now we are back to the '50s with uni fees so enormous that graduates are saddled with a massive debt before they start to earn a wage.
