Student's get nothing incoming (bar subsidised debt) and everything outgoing - I'd rather be in your shoes with a modded to **** sv650, no debt and getting to play with engines all day!

Agree with Dave, Dan

When I left school apprenticeships (very good paying) were £80 week and at least half of that went of transport cost as nowt was covered.

I'm a graduate and i have £20k of debt (and increasing) which I may pay off by the time I'm 45

what im getting at is even with £100 a week the fuel prices and insurance but thats another thing for another thread. but any way most of the lads my college that will be going in to apprenticeships would not be able to do it with out substantial parental backing even with £100 a week, some of them that wont even cover accommodation and food

and you have 20k of debt because you chose to go to uni you knew the costs when you went, where's most people go in to an apprenticeship to earn money no to end up in debt

any way this has gone way off topic

I don't think anyone goes to uni just to get into debt...





....they go to uni cause they're tax dodging bums

£18 to fill the Fazer up yesterday!!! (about £65 for the car)

£18 to fill up the SV this morning - did 119 miles on that tank - 37mpg - booo! Have disconnected the PCIII and reconnect the O2 sensor to see if the MPG improves. In all honesty on my commute in today I didn't notice any difference

Me going to uni had nothing to do with tax dodging (makes no sense, I wasn't earning so I had no tax to dodge) and lots to do with wanting to spend 4 years drunk and screwing anything warm and concave. Which would be worth £20000 worth of debt in anyone's book.

Oh and I got some sort of certificate thing at the end but that wasn't so much fun

I was never in the house, I hand lectures between 9-5, 3 days a week, and worked 2 days a week to.
The other day I sat in a lab writing up reports

Yes the p**s-up did happen
