Is £15k really that much for being able to demand £5k+ per year for the rest of your life?
I mean, under the current system.

when they are from poorer families
they don't envision ever being able to earn that much. They often don't realise the difference it could make :(

Well, if you don't hit £20k, then you don't get charged a penny, and after 30 years it's wiped out.
If you're a graduate and you don't hit the 20s, the odds are without the degree you'll be on min wage.... at a guess without known facts. So racking it up into percentages that's quite a differance.

And the poorer families will all be taken care of in schemes according to the reports, so I reckon it's the middle of the road people and those who are going to drink'n'drug the whole thing that are the most fucked.

As you'll have about as much in the way of skills and work experience as a 16 year old school leaver, you certainly will be on the minimum wage.

I'd rather be an employed plumber than an unemployed scholar.

Nothing wrong with that, I do too.
It's just that I reckon it should be more of a hobby unless you can turn it into a wage packet.

I should point out that I'm talking in general terms here, rather than anyone on here.

During the last year and a half,
thanks to my job I've learnt more about physics, chemistry and mechanics than I ever did at school or college. This definitely proves something.

Probably that spending seven years copying out bits of the textbook, then selectively burping them back up in the exam without any real understanding isn't the best way to learn things.
