Who's off to Uni in September then?!
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!

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!

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.
