I'm done with debt!

Yesterday, I completed my final university examination (surface chemistry and principles of spectroscopy). It was a difficult exam, and summaised what being at uni is all about - learning the content, and recognising how to apply the knowledge gained.

I've really enjoyed my time at university, and if anyone is thinking of taking a chemistry degree / pharmacy course, then consider Kingston Uni.

Right now, I'm hunting for PhD's and applying for them. I've amassed a rather large student loan debt, so I'm hoping to get onto a studentship scheme - london rates are £14,500 per year, tax free. I should be able to pay of some of my loan with that!

Anyway, waiting for results now. Not expecting anything less or anything more than an upper second class degree.

Congrats Matt. Stay in the ranks of the low paid and stuff the student loan.

Well done! what a relief it must be - good luck with the results

End up like my former boss. PhD in AI (I said I was a country lad and knew all about artificial insemination, he did not see the funny side) and spend the first 10 years of earning serious money paying off the debt accrued living like a student then lecturer who behaved like a student etc. Whilst he caught up to the standard of living those of us who have paid taxes all our lives had.

Still as the say, a university is a fountain of knowledge where students go to drink

Congratulations, feels good finishing doesnt it.

I managed to scrape through university without any debt, but then drink didnt interest me, student fees were only a maximum of ?1250 and not the ?3k+ or whatever they are now and I worked a couple of evenings a week and most weekends which helped but probably effected my finished work marks.

I would hate to be a student now and still have nightmares about it lol

and many turn up already half-cut to lectures

I'll admit, uni is not great for having money. BUT I have learnt alot, and have a wider understanding of so many things.

There's still that hydrophobic visor idea I can pursue to make [del boy voice] millions [/del boy voice]

Oh, shout out to my SV, which has been ubur-faithfull these past 8 months

congrats m8 and good luck

Congratulations and best of luck with the results

All that education and yet soooo naive. Prepare to spend the rest of your life, vastly extended by healthly living and a nannying society, in the grasp of one wallet draining corporation after another.

Oh, and well done Matt.

Congratulations on finishing, must be a great feeling! Good luck with the pHD finding
