Here you will find the total length of barbed wire (in feet) equivalent to the total cost of 4 years of college education (in USD) at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.
Each piece of barbed wire represents one 40 hour work week at $7.25/hour. The total number of pieces of barbed wire equal the total number of work weeks one will have to work at minimum wage in order to pay for 4 years of college at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.
There are 52 pieces of barbed wire per section, equating to over 4 years of labor without time off.
