Drunk Enzyme - Far to eloquent
Good point about the going to university thing.

It's all well and good that the government want more and more people to go through a university course, but there's so many issues with that.

As you pointed out, going through university can be financially crippling; I'm lucky that my family can support me through it ok, and that my brother didn't steal all the money before me. If they couldn't I would be royally screwed over, and have huge debts, and that's even with my tuition fees being paid.

Then also, if all these extra people graduate from courses, then the graduate:job ratio will be appalling, and all those students with huge debts will have no way to pay them back as there shan't be enough jobs.

So getting pregnant and getting a job early? Well I can't do the first, but if there's no chance of the degree leading to anything, I would probably have tried to do the second.
