Who's off to Uni in September then?!

[Robin91]

Who's off to uni? Where, what you studying and how do you feel about going?

I'm going to Plymouth to do Business Studies, looking forward to it but stressing because of all the crap that needs to be sorted in advance and also the money situation! Going to be skint by looks of it, going to apply for a student account to give me a nice overdraft (yay, debt..), hopefully work during Xmas/Summer to pay that off.. Probably going with Co-operative bank as its an overdraft that starts on 1400 which is much more than the rest!

Am going to Hull University, Scarborough Campus as it's only up the road from me plus cheaper than moving away from home as my parents pay for everything for me hehe :) Going to study Tourism/Bussiness Management for 3years. Really looking to it as it's something new and different to do. But not looking forward to going alone :( open week is in 4weeks and I don't know anyone lol! Should be good though!

Have you not got a student loan from student finance?? Av got everything paid for by them but end up having to pay a looootttt back after I leave but not till I earn over £20,000 a year lol!

[0rang3peel]

I wish, but I'll be attending freshers week & pretending anyway

[PSPDan]

GTFO GET AN APPRENTICESHIP IF YOU WANT A JOB AND NO DEBT.

I'm going back for my second year in September.

[Robin91]

Debt? You pay fuck all back out of your wage when you're employed, debt is not a justified reason NOT to go to university.. obviously it's not for everyone but, I want to go for the experience if nothing else I don't want a boring apprenticeship and a job right now.

[Prickle]

so how much have you guys racked up now? i know my mate has racked up a little sum.

[haz_pro]

Im in 3rd year (placement) and in about 22k i think, but as said its not like a normal loan so im not worried at all.

so are you selling your car? because i wouldn't mind those twists ;)

I wish, but I'll be attending freshers week & pretending anyway

same. that and i live on the same street as one of the uni residents for derby uni :drink::y:

[joe333]

and how are you basing this opinion?

You spend 3-4 years in uni then come out with like a £20.000 student loan det! fair enough you will have a qualification but now people are coming out of uni and cant even get a good job lol working in tesco with £20.000 det.

When you can get a job say landscapes when you leave school (16-17) then the time you would of finished uni they would be (23ish) and would of been working for about 6 years, Probs have no det and saved alot of money!

Im just saying how i feel about uni at the moment dont think it is worth it if you have had a job when you finish school and you are earning enough to keep you going, run your car plus mods and general stuff and have the money to save. To me uni is a no go.

Might not make that much sence in a rush lol!

[rey]

So basically you're just looking at the short term picture?

You're better off for a few years but what about later in life?

[Stissy]

So basically you're just looking at the short term picture?

unless you get an apprenticeship?

no debt at all
you've got plenty of money for 3 years while you complete your apprenticeship
at the same time you get your degree paid by the company
you end up in a well paid job that would require a degree (that you now have) but dont have any debt or haven't had to live of noodles for the past 3 years

yes you miss out on uni life, but fuck it, go out drinking every night anyway and just get up for work the next morning - take it like a man :boxing:

[joe333]

No! not at all i will be older and would of been in the trade for 6year when you come out of uni so give it another 2-3 years maybe more cant say now obv but say 3 years then i will have enough money to open my own business then mega money!

[LeeM]

im doing mechanical engineering at john moores.
the people sat about on the dole or working at asda have degrees like media studies, the number of these micky mouse degrees seem to be increasing in line with the number of unemployed graduates strangely enough.
my potential wage when i finish my degree will more than offset any debt ill have

LOL at that, if everyone thought the same we would have a planet full of fucking landscape gardeners you moron, where do you think teachers and doctors come from?

You can make that comparison to the lower earning jobs, but there are a lot of jobs you won't even get looked at without having a degree/masters/doctorate etc.

Some people want to actually use their brain during everyday work, they want to push themselves, not push a lawn mower around all day, why do this when they can save peoples lives and earn earn a significant amount more than you would doing your lawns from a comfy office. :homme:

[manta]

Starting my first year of motorsport tech at staffs university.

Heard it's a boring ish uni so may change for my second year but we will see wag 1.

[girlracer1597]

ahhhaaa ok

why would everyone be a landscape gardener? that was an example you can get apprenticeships on many things you fool!:homme: http://apprenticeships.org.uk/Types-of-Apprenticeships.aspx

lower job how is landscapes a lower job? design and garden in the office then go and build it! Obviously dont no fuck all about landscapes,who said anything about lawn mowing, lawn mowing is soft landscaping for the girl lol:cool:

you use your brain to study then when you come out you cant get a job have you not been watching the news? and what you studying? do you know how much landscapers get?

its not even that bad working outside! yeah the winter is abit harsh but when its the summer and a nice day you are stuck in some office sweating with your boss looking over your shoulder every 2 mins lol whilst i am having banter outside loving life :afro:

[PSPDan]

The people that seem dead against uni just seem to think everyone is doing Business or Media Studies....

[LSOfreak]

i didnt get a student loan when i went uni :)

mummy paid for some

I'm not studying anything, I studied computer science.

landscaping was an example, seeing as you used an example I stuck to the same one...

I know plenty of people who have graduated and got jobs and yes I watch the news, thanks, you will probably find it's people who have got degrees in colouring or the like.

I would class landscaping to be a 'lower, skivvy' kind of job (nothing wrong with this) in comparison to being something like a GP/Surgeon, would you not?

[Yates]

my potential wage when i finish my degree will more than offset any debt ill have

now i get why some go to uni, i get why others didnt, i never went and glad i never, the reason ive took your quote is because like you say, you are doing all this for a potential wage, i can only use my mates as examples, but all of them said they would earn mega money, or at least decent, none of them do, and they have been out of uni for a few years now, also couldnt get jobs in what they wanted to do, or if they have, it only slightly relates to it, but career wise, its not the best.

all people who say about uni go on and say about the jobs they can get after earning x amount. the people who say no point are the ones who are out there with a job and know what its like to have a proper job (not saying you all dont know at uni) i mean career job, they have seen it first hand and have experience of what its like out there getting started.

i know you all say people who go to uni and work in asda and so on are the ones that did shit degrees, but those who are doing good degrees, it could also happen to you, the way country is going/is there wont be that much money about, not much money to invest. the way things are, and ive seen this from experience, companies are going for people with experience over fresh out the box grads.

landscaping as an example im not just goign to change the exmple ever post!

so if you have been watching the new you would of seen that students are coming out of uni with dets and just not being able to get a job this is what i am saying!

I wouldnt class it as lower at all i would class a labour or builder as lower in a way not landscapes exsecily the onwer/boss of the company that does not even get dirty. but yeah GP/Surgeon people would say its a higher job. but you chould argue which earns more money?

Yeah of course a jobs not guaranteed, but nor is employment after picking up a trade, and being able to get work.

You could argue it, but I wouldn't expect them to earn more, doctors/surgeons are on close to 6 figure salary's

either way, I'm not knocking apprenticeships or people who don't choose uni, you can find success story's from both

[LeeM]

im looking into going onto the oil rigs, mechanical maintenance engineers earn £50k+ and require a degree in mechanical engineering.
also, im 24 and have been working since 16, full time since 19 in the same job. ive got an nd in motor vehicle so have hands on experience as well. hopefully i wont be seen as a "fresh out the box grad"
either way mechanical engineering is hard and will always look good on my cv, and with my experience in the insurance industry i have that to go back to.

id say most peolpe with a worthwhile degree earn more than if they didnt have one though eventually

[joe333]

Yeah of course a jobs not guaranteed, but nor is employment after picking up a trade, and being able to get work.

Course you are if you have learnt a trade you are pritty much always going to have work on!

Not all companys can aford taking on graduates.

And thats only the top doctors/surgeons, not every doctors/surgeons would be on a 6 figure salary.

sorry, it was when you reached 65, its now 25 years after it becomes eligable to be paid back.

yeah I know - taken from the BBC

If a student never earns £15,000 a year, then they will never pay back their student loan - it's as simple as that. Obviously the debt will continue to grow because of the interest being applied. The interest rate is linked to inflation and is set every year. It has been set for the next academic year at 2.4%. For 'new' students starting from September 06, their student loan will be written off after 25 years. For existing students they will be written off when you reach the age of 65 or if you become permanently disabled and unfit for work; or if you die. Student loan debts can never be passed onto anyone else.



aNd I know 25 years seems a long time, but seeing as its not an apprenticeship I will never ever get a job, because none of anyones mates have, so I will never earn enough ever. :y:

[Dannii]

Uni threads always get an argument about apprenticeships etc and who earns the better wage...

I'm doing an apprenticeship although I do wanna go to uni as well :)
Hopefully I'll be able to do a degree after i've finished my apprenticeship with Jaguar Land Rover then again if they think you're good enough they'll offer you a foundation degree with them :)

You don't start paying student finance off until you're earning over £20,000 anyways :homme:

[LeeM]

my cousin did an apprenticeship, got on with tsyon at 16 and is now 21 earning £22k fully qualified. my mates at nissan, fully qualified and earns less than £20k.
get me on an apprenticeship...

[Jay_]

probably in the same town you are in now, with the same shit going on everyday, same boring people etc. Go to uni and live life a bit IMO.

I just want someone to bite and have an arguement....

Get yourself in there with an apprenticeship :A:

[LeeM]

i see you want an argument as you say

so all the forces over seas fighting and protecting deserve to pay tax so you can bum about, so they are all dosy?

but they pay tax from wages that are paid out of tax we pay, then students will obviously earn more so will pay more taxes in future that will go back into the forces.

^^ what he said :hug:

[Yates]

but they pay tax from wages that are paid out of tax we pay, then students will obviously earn more so will pay more taxes in future that will go back into the forces.

my point was he was calling everyone who pays tax dosy, so are all forces dosy?! he wanted an argument!

[Barry123]

so how much have you guys racked up now? i know my mate has racked up a little sum.

It's about £25k, this back in the days when the fees were £1k :flush:

[Barry123]

so are all forces dosy?!

yep...

[Jay_]

my point was he was calling everyone who pays tax dosy, so are all forces dosy?! he wanted an argument!

yep...

I agree with Adsayer.

[Yates]

yep...

yeah but reply was to short so you had to add white text

you could of jsut put yes they are.

anyway shit van wilder your opinions dont matter cos you have been at uni for 9 years...

[Chimaira]

You spend 3-4 years in uni then come out with like a £20.000 student loan det! fair enough you will have a qualification but now people are coming out of uni and cant even get a good job lol working in tesco with £20.000 det.

there is an earning threshold, you won't start paying the loan back until you're earning something like 26k* at least or more.

*not sure on exact sum.

[Barry123]

anyway shit van wilder your opinions dont matter cos you have been at uni for 9 years...

Pahahaha noob. It's 8 years actually.

[Yates]

[joe333]

there is an earning threshold, you won't start paying the loan back until you're earning something like 26k* at least or more.

*not sure on exact sum.

yeah but you still got to give back like £20.000

[Jay_]

whats the hell have you been doing for 8 years?!?!

[Yates]

yeah but you still got to give back like £20.000

not cutting his hair, drinking wine and fanta, wearing chordroys and turtle neck jumpers with stupid beanie hats

[LeeM]

thats a new one, i thought once you earned £15k you payed 9% of it back, but you pay back a percentage of what you earn over that £15k, thats nice

[Dannii]

Danni, you will never be qualified at anything apart from doing the dishes, don't waste your money.

lololololol

I'd of slapped you for that in person :A:

MY Girlfirends Going To Do Her 1st Year At Bolton Uni In September.

40 Mile From Home. She Isnt Looking Forward To It As She Is Too Used To Seeing Me Every Weekend & Will Miss Her Grandparents

Bollocks, She'll Be Getting Pork Sword From All Directions Within A Month.

Enjoy The Thought That During Fresher's She'll Probably Have Had 4 Different Dicks In And Around Her Mouth.

[Jay_]

whats with the Capital Letter At The Start Of Each Word Boys?

If she is scared she needs to man the fuck up. I moved 270 ish miles and need to fly/get the ferry home. Its awesome!

[rey]

I Don't Know, I Saw Him Do It, And Thought It Was Cool.


Seriously, it's fucking annoying. And I agree with Jay, I'm like a 2-3 hour drive from home, moving properly away is the fun of it.

P.s. 40 miles is bullshit, I live that far away from my missus when we're home from uni.

University is pretty shit on the education side of things unless you desire it to go into a specific profession.

I'm going back in sept for a 3rd year, and i can safely say i've not learnt one thing that i didnt already know.

who cares though? i wouldnt have got to meet the people i've met, live in the place i do etc.

swings and roundabouts, different choices in life all have their pro's and cons.

Edit, +1 on rey's point. 40 miles is less than an hour drive, man up.

I Will Let You Off Then! ;)

Yeah no point basically living at home and being able to pop home when you need washing done or shit like that. Got to man up & take it. I got mugged in my first year and just sorted everything out. I couldn't run home to mummy/daddy. The way I prefer it, send you out on your own and enjoy it :y:

MY Girlfirends Going To Do Her 1st Year At Bolton Uni In September.

40 Mile From Home. She Isnt Looking Forward To It As She Is Too Used To Seeing Me Every Weekend & Will Miss Her Grandparents

3 years ago my ex was at uni 50+ miles away and i saw her every weekend without fail, if youre bothered then drive to hers and stay over every weekend then nothing changes

Fill him with confidence why don't you! :fcuk:

[LeeM]

it ended in her second year when i went back to college and didnt have time. so if theyre seeing each other all weekend then they clearly dont have anything else going on at the moment

Ignoring the predictable argument going on in here, no OP I am not going back to Uni in September.

Although I am in October, (*cough* Russell Group *cough*) for all the joys of a third (although mercifully final) year of Physics.
