Why can they not earn the money for their education?
I cut grass in the cemetery for 3 years in a row during the summer. Not one of those sit on jobs either. I pushed that mower 20 miles a day (seriously) and earned up to the basic rate (around 5K at the time), which paid for my fees and a few months of my education.
These days they expect to go off trekking for the summer spending money they don't have, and they honestly feel like they deserve it.

Make 'em pay an economic rate for their education up front and no grad taxes etc.

Originally posted by Freamon View PostThe problem is simply that too many people go to university to study degrees that are not worthwhile. Solve that problem, and then degrees could be state funded, as they should be. If the education is worthwhile, it makes sense for the state to pay - having a better educated population benefits everyone.
You know for a moment it sounds like your saying universities put business before education.
Honestly the state of this country, analogous perhaps to a used piece of toilet paper surging out to sea with a million tons of raw sewage."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Is this the quiet middle class revolt. I remember students taking place in the poll tax riots in the late 80's. I thought those around me were ******* then as well.
You don't get something for nothing. The days of being a pathetic lech and drain on society are over. Get used to it, get a work ethic, get a job!

Brokers(male and female) photocopying £50 notes and chucking them at the demonstrators. All of a sudden a group of demonstrators broke past security on the ground floor and legged it up the stairs. They got one floor before a group of Stock Brokers went down and gave them a right good kicking.
