Or lazy Sun reading bullshit from a GCSE drop out.

Is a mortgage for people too lazy to save £200,000 of their own money? After all that's every bit a loan as a student loan is.

I bet we get a better return for the tax payers money we dish out on our student's higher education than the millions bailing out prolifigate Financial Institutions who pissed their wealth up the wall dishing out huge bonuses and indulging clients in the club level at Arsenal and every pole dancing venue in Shoreditch.

Would you make your own offspring go and get a low paid job at 16 or encourage them go on to further education, doing a course which best suits their ability, not everyone is academically minded and going to excel at science , literature , mathematics , or medicine etc

[Wayno]

There's no need for student loans, strip clubs and drug trafficking should help take care of a students financial needs

Of course the reality of the situation since the abolition of grants and the introduction of student loans is that nearly all students have to go out and do the low paid shit McJobs at some point to subsidise themselves anyway.

The one's that don't get a hand out from mummy and daddy rather than a student loan, therefore these loans and tuition fees help the priviledged a lot more than those trying to achieve inter-generational social mobility. Especially so when all the graduate employees want you to have some form of 'experience' in terms of the part-time/summer vacational work you do, which in a lot of cases is less well paid or voluntary.

Something people want to point out to the Paul Calf's of this world when they come out with all the smart arse remarks.

I have no offspring and my comment was tongue firmly in cheek - apologies if i hit a nerve.

Please explain "lazy sun reading bullshit from a GCSE drop out"

Thank-you.

my comment was firmly tongue in cheek and I apologise if i offended. I went to school and did "O levels" and did ok but its true that "in my day" we just went out to work. I know there is a lot to be said for further education.

**** junior needs one and i wondered if anyone on here can give me
any tips.
Cheers

takes a long time to fill in the forms, and if you want extra money you're gunna have to fill in extra stuff, but its not difficult per se

[SPUDMASHER]

Fucking students. They're just a bunch of lazy pisshead chunky jumpers. I should know, I was one
Back in my day, when bread were just tuppence ha'penny a loaf, we used to get part time work to support our studies. Nowadays we just give the idle fuckers a huge wedge of cash to go and buy special brew, pizzas and occasionally a biro.
My parents took out endowment policies when we were born to give us the kick start but from then on it was down to us. I had three jobs when studying and it did me no harm. You can tell that by knowing what a well rounded pillar of the community I have become today

Where are all the tits

the standard loan only just about covers rent far less books, food and fun shit

sorry to destroy the student stereotype but the only way you can actually have a good time at uni is to either work the hours youre not in classes or continue to sponge off parents

[The Joy of Cesc]

My son's at uni

Tuition fee loan - about 3 grand a year, don't see that, goes straight to college.

Maintenance loan/grant, out as soon as its in his bank account, covers rent.

What he's saved up in his bank account over the last fews years from weekend jobs has to cover everything else. He stayed out of the red last year, but this year is going to be tight, theres not a lot of leeway.
