    Yes, you go into debt, but you pay back fook all till your earning decent money in a job.....
    And buy then the repayments are easily manageable.

    I regret not going uni after college, i would have finished my 3years now....
    And been able to look for a decent job instead of the ****e money i put up with atm

    Student Loan isnt a real debt anyway.

    and a £2K interest free overdraft is a piece of piss to pay off once you earn money as you are so used to not having any cash that you dont spend what you earn till about 6 months later when you realise you can buy nice beer, nice wine, nice food and then it all goes wrong

    I'm still paying off my student loan, £50 a month which I'd much rather have in my pocket

    That only really covers my interest I think, and I only had a £6.5k loan lmfao

    I never made it to Uni, I failed all my final exams, yes ALL of them, as a rebelious statement that I just could not be ****d with any of it!!

    So when everyone was at Uni, I was hard at work on a building site doing the best job I ever had, Labouring. So on a Thursday night out, i always had money in my pocket as the poor students were counting coppers!!

    Now, 8 years on, I'm working as a Quantity Surveyer, working 9-3, spending most of the day on here and getting well paid. Its all good!!

    Nick, well done mate. Take a year out and wind down after all the exam business.
    I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.

    That's kind of correct. This is how it goes.

    3 Year Degree.
    1 Year "Part 1" Work Placment
    2 Year "Part 2" Diploma (back at university )
    1 year (typically) "Part 3", which is working in practice again, and a proffesional examination.

    So, yes it's 7 years. Theres no "foundation" as such, as it's a Degree/Diploma.

    So i've got 2 years back at university, technically a Postgraduate though .
