Sarah Palin says that she just did beauty pageants to pay for college. Well, um, lets see… College costs thousands of dollars. The prize for winning is usually a scholarship of a thousand dollars or so. The cost of travel, the evening wear, the beautification, etc, thousand of dollars. Beauty queens do it for the love, not the money. (Although money will likely come later after they’ve married their prince.)
