If one adjusts for inflation by keying off the price of gold, that job at
!0/hr pays far less than I was making on summer jobs in high school.
If one adjusts based on the price of gasoline or bread, it's only slightly
less than I was making on that same summer job. Based on the price of milk
it pays slightly better.
What will they get? A brilliant high-school student who wants to gain
Florida residency in order to qualify for in-state tuition, who plans to
live at grandma's house, and to commute by bicycle.
