I don't really understand the fuss about student debts, as they only need to be paid back once you are earning a certain amount anyway.

My mum and dad are going to remortgage the house to pay for my brothers uni fees outright.

Yes Labour is going on about it


I agree with what you say

University hasn't only taught me well, I've grown considerably as a person since going. The changes I've gone through personally have been worth way more to me then the degree at the end of it. Regardless of the job prospects going forward, I feel more ready for life than I could have imagined as the timid hermit I was previously. This doesn't apply to everybody but it's been so vital for me; I found myself.

Completely agree. Having to earn over 21k to pay back around £30 a month, roughly the same as a mobile phone contract, is nothing really.

And this, very well stated.

There are people that I met on my first day of first year University and was still living with 4 years later, on our last day in a shared house. All of us were very, very different people on that last day than the kids who arrived on the first day of freshers week. This is largely true of everyone I met through University.

Majority of the guys who went straight into employment and didn't move more than a couple of miles from home, as far as I can tell, were exactly the same people aged 22 as they were when I knew them at school aged 16. ****, I'm nearly 30 now and from what I've seen most of them are STILL exactly who they were at 16 .

Good post great sense.

More young people aren't equipped to deal with life now because technology has taken over from real human interaction; people text instead of talking, punch keyboards instead of talking, live life by proxy via video games in darkened rooms instead of going out into the world and enjoying their own real mini-adventures.

I'm glad for you Samuel. Really glad. You sound so balanced and mature. Let's hope this fact and your qualifications do lead to a good career which you'll enjoy.
