Very much this. When you've got Rees-Mogg of all ppl slamming it over the "Henry VIII clauses" good luck getting it through the House of Lords. And even if they do get it through, good luck sacking workers in public sector when you're desperately trying to retain and recruit tens of thousands of staffing shortfalls in every single public sector there is. It's without substance and purely designed to play to the gallery.
The salient point being it's debt all but in name. You owe money, until xx amount of time has expired or it is paid back in full. Loans, Mortgages are all forms of debt, but student loans have their own set criteria of repayment, different from normal bank loans. I think I remember hearing about a situation one time, where someone avoided working some extra hours, because to do so would have meant a repayment kicking in, either that or I just made that up in my head lol.
lots were doing precisely that which is why they changed the rules to try and get some of the dosh back . In 2020-21 there were over 500000 graduates but there are no way near that many jobs paying a large graduate uplift.
Have a cup of tea mate, soon be footie on, school has finished now, let it go, let it go, it's weekend time.
School finished at 3.15pm. Remember? Perks of the job. You're still triggered though which is a bonus
Sorry what was you saying about Moggs I guess you got some homework to be marking, rather than watching Chelsea tonight, so go and get on with it mate, this place is becoming a big distraction for you.
You still on strike? Thought this would have all been over by now, what with the power of the people and all that, how much has it cost you so far, I dread to think.
So you read it? Well done lol Why don't you quote me again where I said parents should pay for books... and actually show that I didn't
My work experience was in the local Water Company in the pumping station, spent all day looking at a load of dials, no thanks My first job strangely enough was at a different Water Company in the Estimating Dept, spent a lot of time out on site and was trained as a Plumber, I could be called a Plumber because I could wipe a lead joint, plumbers that cant no matter what qualifications they have are merely fitters
I managed to save enough to get a 10 speed racing bike, which I doubt very much my parents would have bought me.
I can see both being correct. It's called student loan in name and it is a debt. However it's not really a debt, who in their right mind would lend money out with the proviso you wouldn't get it back. It doesn't go against your credit score. You don't have to pay it back. You only pay extra if and when you earn above a x amount and even then you pay it off super slowly.
My lad had learning to ride bicycle, after school class today Help him become a lazy ****er Init and not want to walk anywhere
I was going to say it's a good thing mate, but then paused because I know what todays traffic is like, way different to when I was a kid that's for sure.
