Well so am I. Thanks to this recession, graduates are settling for anything as they struggle to earn just £25 let alone £25,000.
Leaving university with nothing but a piece of paper in one hand and a total of £20k of student debt in another, graduates may just be "the lost generation."
And with the levels of unemployment soaring, and the Government failing to pause on the interest rates on student loans, more and more graduates are left struggling to even begin repaying their loans and other arrears.
SO what's the plan?
The government are deciding on whether to provide students who commute to university with no tuiton fees, thus no student loans as a bid to reduce the number of people falling into student debt upon leaving university.
Although this may seem like a good idea, students will end up settling for any course at any university as they will look for a uni more closer to home.
But then it would mean students wouldn't land themselves in debt afterwards.
Yet at the same time, the Government are also thinking of boosting up tuition fees significantly.
I don't know what will happen within the next few years. But what I do know, is that I would have been in a better position than I am in now if I didn't go to university, because now, all employers are after is experience...and that's something we don't have.
What do you think?
I think that university should be about the learning aspect of things rather than the financial downside however disruptive this may be. It's about how one is able to develop as a person so that they can apply this to whatever they may do in the future; more so an experience.
