+1 or revolutionize the market they are attacking (plan b)

Yep - your plan to use male models to deliver milk would disrupt the milk delivery market and all other suppliers of milk that emply ugly men would go bust.

After that you can branch into model parcel delivery

Atually 100 k is quire a realistic expectation...

If we assume wage inflation at 6%, then over 20 years the average pay in the UK will be around 100K, up from 27-28K now

6% is higher than it has been over the last 20 years but then again we've been in a period of relatively low inflation, quantitative easing is going to cause serious inflation which also has the "useful" side effect that it makes it easier for the government to pay off debt.


One thing that must change is the relative pay of graduates to non-grads. When you have half the population going to uni, they become a dominating factor in average pay making it much harder for them to earn more than average.

I reckon it's much more likely that students in 20 years will have average of £100k debt after graduation.

20 years? It's probably a good 50K now.
