I know people who have gone to university who worked at mcdonalds before they started their course and two years after they have graduated; they are still working at mcdonalds. Difference is the individual is now 12 grand in debt.

So are you saying people should not bother going to university and furthering their education as there is no jobs for them to go into. If everyone thought like that then we would have a lack of graduates. I believe that if you want to work somewhere enough then you will make it you just need to have drive and determination.

Yes there may be a lot of Graduates, but then it is just down to the individual to make sure that they stand out from the rest..
e.g. Work experience, social activities etc.
You will always be competing against someone for a job whether you have a degree or not. For some careers it may work out more practical or neccessary to take a degree, for example if you plan to have a career in Law, Medicine, Finance, Business. A degree in one of these subjects would be more credible than say a degree in Media or Art. So in some cases it is worth the £15k debt you inccur.

Ireland do not have to pay either.
I think that the governments in the other countrys in the UK should all keep the things the same.

Its just life, thats what the Scottish Assembly decided ; they run Scotland and there Health-care, Education and Care for the Elderly, which are indeed free I heard.

Gordon Brown, can't afford in his other stretched budget to provide free university lessons which are only an Option
in this country to those who can afford it !

I can understand the Prime Minister can't provide millions of pounds to people wanting to go to an optional university

I can afford it as my family are rich

Life Is Un-Fair !

Hmm i wasn't aware of this ;o But if it's the case lets all move to Scotland :P

I agree. You wont go far in life. Your rich and can aford it. Well your saying only the rich percentage of the UK can have an extended education. Well um gald your not improtant because if you were we would have a bad country to live in! I can afford uni, but i still think that everyone should be given and equal opertunity to further education not just the people who are well off becuase all that will happen if the rich will get richer becuase theu get the good jobs and England and the Credit crunch will just slide even further into a ditch! There needs to be a sysstom to sort it out tbh.

You know the funny thing about you thou rich boy.
Your probably not rich at all and sitting in an internet cafe using your last 50p and it makes you feel big to say your top of the world!

Wow you really have no idea how this country operates do you...

I doubt jbz is rich..

Mind you his stubborn spoiltness must come from somewhere...

Get a loan. If you don't take a trashy degree you'll have a high enough income to pay it back with ease when you've graduated.
