    Just qualify and emergrate, to USA, Canada or Australia it’s simple as long as you have a good degree that’s in demand not a bs woke social sciences or equivalent that’s useless outside the champagne socialist bubble.

    I'm sure that gender studies degree from the some former second rate polytechnic will equip you very well for life – provided you limit your ambitions to making coffee in Costa or doing some awful call centre job. But hey, it helps worthless 'academics' and their administrative hierarchy off the dole.

    But surely they have studied something that will actually qualify them for high paying jobs? Or did they study some meaningless and useless woke rubbish, making it their own fault.

    Unless you are set on a career in medicine or law or some other that needs a degree then my advice is don't go to university.

    the loans the students take out are provided by the taxpayer via the government, but are then sold by the government for approx 17% of their face value to private loan companies who call themselves things like 'Honours student loans' in order to make the students think they are paying the loans back to the government. If you follow the money it is simply transferring taxpayers money to private companies using student loans as a cover.

    They should have thought about it before committing themselves. Sooner or later school leavers will realise and choose not to go the university route. That’s when the universities will be in trouble they be trying to give places away.

    You made a lifestyle choice, now deal with it.

    I'd be worried if I were one of the many thousands of idiots with a Zombie degree.

    Far cheaper to do an apprenticeship and gain a real set of skills.
    If at Uni, avoid the social sciences… they lead nowhere, expect the unemployment line or a low paid job.

    Go for a degree that will attract a job, then find a job (sponsorship) before you start the course. My dad made me get sponsorship – no sponsorship, no university. And the sponsor employed me at the end. Came out in profit and started a career. The key is a degree that employers want. Or debt. A typical life choice!

    My Greek boyfriend's brother was doing a PhD when I was doing my masters degree. His rich banker daddy gave him £550 per month to rent a 2 bedroomed flat, and gave him £70 per day to eat out three times a day because he couldn't cook, and he bought new socks and underwear and threw them away after one wear, as he didn't know how to do laundry. The guy was a parasite. He also went to the casino and lost £500 PER NIGHT!!!!

    I left University with 2 degrees and no debt. I didn't piss money up the wall, and I worked 60 hours a week. I studied full time and slept 4 hours per day.

    Well they better be doing something useful and not some Micky mouse degree then and not be far left activist.

    Bleating about utter rubbish they have no knowledge in.

    Students will start paying when they earn 22500.00. They won’t earn that at Maccy d’s.

    how do you rack up almost 200k in student debt? did they stay in a hotel and order in every night?

    Don't buy a lamburghini and moan about mpg. If you don't want debt then get a job. If you want to stay out of the work force and not contribute till your 25 and go into the job of your dreams then great but don't expect the tax payer to fund it.

    Having learned nothing of intrinsic value, today's students will be forever dependent on the fragile system that lured them into this vulnerable situation in the first place, all this whilst nurturing a false sense of superiority.

  24. @ron88303

    December 22, 2023 at 11:04 am

    Why is this a problem? I presume most students select a field of study that will result in occupations that provide enough earnings to pay down their loans. If they didn't, that's on them.

By



Watch as Will Kensington expresses concern about the state of the UK, arguing that Downing Street is no longer a place of power but has instead become Britain’s most expensive Airbnb.

This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.
