one wonders what job exactly ohnoes does, if any ? he has been lucky enough to do some traveling round the word from his comments on life in Dubi etc, wish us lucky "had it on a plate" baby boomes had had such opertunities,!!!! lucky if we got a week in Margate ( nothing wrong with Margate by the way ) not all of us baby boomers came from middle class families and went to uni, I just went straight to work@ 15 in a factory ,and my husband worked in the print , on crap wages for 3yrs while doing his apprentice, ( and there will be no Maxwell pension to look forward to !!)but we did manage to buy our own home by SAVEING UP , and going withoutno big fancy wedding or honeymoon, ,having seconhand furniture, prams ,etc and one old banger.always breaking down! (and we had to find the 10 % deposit required to buy it ,and then pay the 12% interest rates on the mortgage !!! we were only allowed to borrow twice the mans wages back then are you really trying to say your student loan/debt will be as big as our mortgage was !!!, twice your wages, 50k pluss student debt ??????????
I know of plenty of "students " who are only @ uni for the large loan / hand out , they have no intension of getting a job and paying it pack ,most of these will fail the exams anyway as dont care and dont bother to study , some are single mums who would loose all their benifits and be worse off if they did get a job! so they will never pay back anything
there is work available , but the jobs i had are only taken by Eastern Europeans now , but we "had it on a plate we did "
but hey ho must get back to work , earn some money pay some more tax ,and read me Daily Mail .............................
