Rising Cost of Education (6) Friday, February 29
1<S>: We said in the vignette that there is limited availability of
grants and scholarships in America.
2<C>: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
3<S>: I guess, especially for first year students, uh.... Did you
get any financial aid when you went to university in America?
4<C>: Oh, definitely. Although it was before prices rose as much as
they have recently, it was still a large cost for my family. I'm the
oldest of six kids and my parents were hoping all of us would go to
college. But when I started, I first decided which college I wanted
to go to.
5<S>: That's the shopping around stage.
6<C>: But I looked at it from what I wanted to study, not from a
financial point of view. And I think although it's difficult to pay
for college, even these days probably the first thing you should do
is find a place that suits you. If they want you, if they want to
admit you, they'll try to help you find the money that you need to
be able to attend that university. And that's what happened to me.
My first choice and I had my safety school as they called. My first
choice is... was a private university. And it's quite expensive to
go to private universities.
7<S>: How expensive is it to go to a private university versus a
public one?
8<C>: Oh, I think private can be three or four times more.
9<S>: Three or four times more.
10<C>: Yeah, easily double... I think when I was in school, it was
probably two or three times more. I don't remember exactly, but I
got the acceptance letter and they sent a financial package. First
of all, it had a lot of questions asking about my family status,
which meant how many kids in the family, how much my father's income
was. They probably also asked about mortgages and things like that
my parents were paying off. And they also wanted to know how much
savings my parents had. They had uh... similar questions for me.
11<S>: So the criteria for awarding such a financial package was
your financial needs.
12<C>: Uh-huh. My university even then 30 years ago, first looked at
the students they wanted. Then secondly if they decided to admit
you, they would find some kind of financial package so that you
could afford to go to school there.
13<S>: Umm...
14<C>: So in my case, it was a combination of, I think, it was about
a quarter of my savings that I had at that point. I don't remember
how they determined how much my parents would pay each year, but a
payment from my parents, plus I got a few small scholarships just a
couple hundred dollars each. And the rest of it, they also
recommended I take a small loan each year, then they made up the
rest of it with a grant.
15<S>: Did you also work part-time?
16<C>: Yeah, for sure. Maybe, I think the first two years, I didn't.
I didn't have to have a part-time job, and I also didn't take the
loans the first couple years because I knew how to live cheaply.
17<S>: And you were probably too busy studying.
18<C>: Yeah, and the first two years are much harder than the second
two because it takes a little while to get used to it. But the
second two years, I'm pretty sure, it was two years, I did work
part-time during the school year. And every year, I worked full-time
over the summer on the weekends when I could.
19<S>: So it was a big family you came from.
20<C>: Yeah.
21<S>: It's a big financial burden for your parents.
22<C>: Except that there were always a lot of us and my father never
had a lot of money. Yeah, I'm sure it was tough, but everybody
qualified for financial aid. Everybody did graduate.
23<S>: Hmm... I think things are tougher now.
24<C>: Uh... it's certainly scarier, looking at the numbers.
25<S>: Did you have any loans, though, when you graduated?
26<C>: Yeah, I had a little bit from college because once my sisters
started college also, my parents had less extra that they could help
us out with, so we all started taking loans once my other sisters
started. My parents helped us all mostly with college, the first
four years. My brother and I went on to further schooling after the
first four years and that we both paid for ourselves.
I think these days it looks scary because I think the way people
think about using money is somewhat different from in the past and
certainly from the way my family thought about debt. My parents had
a mortgage, but that's about the only debt they ever ran up. They
didn't have credit cards at first. They were very careful about
being able to pay back the money they borrowed. I think nowadays
people take on debt much more lightly than people did, you know, 30,
40 years ago.
27<S>: But I guess many people believe that college sheepskin is
worth the money or the debt.
28<C>: Ah, absolutely. It does depend somewhat on the level of the
college that you went to. You have to be a little bit careful that
you are not paying more for a mediocre degree than you'll earn back
over the rest of your life. But mostly, people who graduate from
college over their lifetime, they'll earn hundreds of thousands of
dollars more than someone who's only graduated from high school.

あんな時、こんな時

■ Got to go now. / Gotta go now.
29) These two phrases have exactly the same meaning. "Gotta" is
probably the most basic, regular, no special meaning way to
pronounce those two words. "Got to" means the person is speaking
more clearly for some extra reason.
30) Also this phrase might be used very casually to mean I have to
go to the restroom. You can usually tell by the circumstances if
they have to leave because they are going somewhere else, or if they
need to use the facilities.
■ I have to hit the road.
31) If you use it to talk about yourself, it tends to mean that. You
can also use it in slang to mean leave, go away. There is a song
called "Hit the Road Jack."

32) There are many ways you can excuse yourself graciously. Here's
one of them.

33) That's all for today.
34) Please tune in again next time.

<編集後記>
自転車でお買い物の帰り道、ママチャリには前のカゴにも後ろのカゴ
にもスーパーの買い物袋がいっぱい。カゴに入りきれず、さらに手に
も荷物をもちながら、ふんふん♪と鼻歌を歌いながら自転車をこいで
いたら、突然横道から猛スピードの自転車が飛び出してきました。
ぎゃーーーー! と、止まれまい!!!
ガッシャーーーーーン!
自転車と自転車の衝突も半端ではない衝撃ですね。
「大丈夫ですか?」と周りの人も寄ってきて荷物を拾ってくれたのです
が、ひざっこぞうが今でも痛いです。
それにしても、事故にあった人がよく飛ばされる瞬間、スローモーショ
ンを見るっていうけれど、あれって本当ですね。
自転車ごと倒れる瞬間、私の動きも(意識が)スローモーションになり
ました。ゆーーーっくりと自分が倒れていくのがわかるのです。そんな
中、よく危篤状態に陥った人は、自分の過去を走馬灯のように眺める
っていうけれど、私が考えていたことは、
「あーーっ、た、た、卵が割れるぅぅ〜〜〜!!!」
お買い物をしてきた卵の心配をしていたのでした。
あーー、主婦だなあ。
