Another offshoot of this discussion regardind 'private / ie; privately funded' education - further ed, college and Uni - they are in great part, privately funded by the individul to a great extent.

As example: I chose to work full time from the age of 18. I also wanted to continue my eduction in differing topics that interested me - and subsequently, I paid to attend night school for college to obtain HND, and then continued to pay through OU studies for psychology degree.

should this also be looked down on, and frowned upon, because I chose to continue paying for my further education? (slightly offshooting I know, and if it may derail thread - I'll understand if there's no response to this: as it does digress)

Well my opinion on Uni is that I think they should be factored into the educational system and be made free of charge like all other schools (or if necessary given a small charge for things like books etc).

But imo I don't think they should those types of classes and education should be made to have fees. They should be free to attend. Or if thats not feasible, then maybe a small fee again to maintain books etc.

Thats what I think anyways.

Even at the expense of your education and possible future? That would indicate to me that you may possibly regard neither as a priority for you, either now, or in later life.

Well maybe in future but now I'm quite happy to stay right where I am.
