Monroe Transfer 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 30k! Sweet Jesus, mine was half that and I've paid some of it off. I went to uni at just the right time (before the fees skyrocketed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonamental 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Same, 30k staggers me. I think I was in some of the first years of loans, felt hard done by at the time, feel lucky now. Man that's ridiculous money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 5527 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Aye it does, still that 30k will start dribbling away next week with my first pay slip. and it'll probably still be dribbling away in 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7927 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I was fortunate enough that my folks paid my rent and fees (£1000 pa back then) when I was at uno I worked part time for my living expenses. Was a bit of a shitter when everyone else got there student loans through and I had £7.30 in the bank but was well worth it in the long run.

Aye, it doesn't look that bad as you see your pay slip going past. Until you see your annual statement and start to dream about what else you could've done with the money.

It actually doesn't bother me, I see it as a necessary expense to be able to do what I want to, I've luckily got a degree with an industry attached to it unlike a lot of people.

Renton 24472 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I'm so old I was PAID to go to University for my degree. Then I was paid A LOT to do my PhD. Feel sorry for students today. Say you rack up 30 grand debt, and so does your partner (most graduates will end up with another graduate). You're starting off 60k in debt. But most banks now want silly money deposits before they will give you a mortgage, so basically you are financially crippled from the off. Moral is, if you're going to do a degree make sure it's vocational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
