About a seven grand student loan

I think students should pay their own way. I object to having to fund your 'educashun'.......

The counter-argument to that is that society needs graduates - teachers, doctors, lawyers and so and so forth. Is it not right that society funds the training of these people to give them the skills to benefit society?

I also agree there's an issue with students doing some of the more ridiculous degrees like computer game studies, and also some of the 'universities' which are springing up - University of Thames Valley anyone?

Why should society fund them? Salaries people earn in those professions are on average far higher than the 'average salary'.


I have a degree in history and a couple óf diddy qualifications and never got any grant whatsoever.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

I have some loans but enough savings to cover them comfortably.

so other than the mortgage I'm in the clear.

I don't think teachers earn a great deal to be fair. I think that the state and individual should share the burden - 50/50. And where we have skills shortages, the state should consider further grants payable on completion.

On the one hand, we need to ensure we don't exclude people who won't risk enormous non-asset backed debt (the poor, or even the naturally prudent), but on the other hand the state shouldn't be paying for wasters who do no work and then drop out after 2 years. And I don't want my nation's lawyers coming purely from privelaged backgrounds.

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Apart from the mortgage I am debt free.

 

[bhafc99]

Nothing. Don't have a mortgage or any loans, credit cards etc. Have £70k in investments/savings.

And no, I won't buy a player for the club with it!
