Today, when the student debt situation has us all up to our necks, and when students around the world are refusing to continue this collaborationism, we again make this booklet available “for education against education.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWages for Students\u003c\/em\u003e was anonymously authored and published in the fall of 1975 by \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Caffentzis\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMonty Neill\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Willshire-Carrera\u003c\/strong\u003e, three activists associated with the journal \u003cem\u003eZerowork\u003c\/em\u003e and later with the Midnight Notes Collective.
