£3000 tuition fees?????? i don't mind paying what i am now..but £3000 that takes the piss, does tony blair want us all to be complete ideots?
Re: £3000 tuition fees?????? masters? count yourself this aint america... $25,000+ a year if you go out of state...
Tuition fees are the worst idea ever. i had to pay mine today. doesnt matter that it was only £15.30 (daft ammount really) but that means the government pays the uni the rest. Id bet that if we went back to the government paying everyones then the uni's wouldnt dare put the fees up that high
About a month or so ago, on Question Time on BBC1 they were talking about this very thing, tution fees. Apparrently in a couple of years time with the way things are going, the average person who goes to university will be at least £30K debt by the time they leave.
can belive it. Im already leaving with at least 9k debt to my student loan alone and now theyve put the interest up itll be 10k by this time next year now if i could just win the lottery, or find an ageing millionaire batchelor... (thats not how you spell batchelor is it? im sure you get my meaning though )
Like it, but only a pound? id probable save money if they did it like that though -but i wouldnt feel as guilty about skiving
Eductation in this country is in a right mess.... Schools closing down for days cause they cant afford to pay teachers. Tuition fee's making university unaffordable for tons of people Students being let out into the world with huge debts on their shoulders, and no high paid jobs to compensate them for it. In addition to this, the government wants everyone to go to university, while we have a national shortage of plumbers, electrictians and other skilled vocations. This government sucks.
SO PEOPLE ARE PAYING THE FEE's & GETTING LOANS FOR JOB'S THAT ARE'NT EVEN THERE!!!!!!!!!! THEY DESERVE TO BE DEBT FOR BEING SO THICK!!! Should have been plumbers, electrictians like you say, they would be earning a STACK now, dare I say it enough to pay off huge debts.
im at uni doing a computing course because i have ALWAYS used computers... i consider myself to have a decent knowledge and in a strange kind of way enjoy learning about / using them. so it makes sense. although the thought that all this will not provide a good job at the end is rather unsettling.
I doing ICT and I hopefully will have some sort of job in computing but really i would like to acheive to be in the police force.
Well yeah - Im one of those people who had to move to the london area to get a job in IT, of which there are jobs... plenty of them - The money is still there, but the demands from positions these days has doubled - for instance people want you to be a Linux AND an MS Network guru at the same time... or VB AND Java, which again are two sides of a coin... problem is since the IT industry downturn people are having to cover 2-3 job roles now instead of the 1 they were used too. Those dumb adverts telling people they can be rich from doing an IT course doesnt help things either - Especially when MCSE's at work are asking my girlfriend for advice on how to achieve simple tasks with a PC. Kind of the same thing with universities - the industry/government wants everyone to pay to get a bit of paper which alot of the time means sod all and does nothing except reduce the value of everyones degree's. Sounds hippocritical but we need more people learning a trade, than chasing the false "american dream" esque image they put on university and what it can do for you......
stop whining my fees for the college of law are £10'095 p.a. i feel uni students have it relatively easy in comparisson.
