Share £25k Debt If You Want Uni Education

There’s nothing more lucrative to the establishment than hooking thousands of young people in to debt as soon as they start out in life. It’s a never ending fishing line of credit that they can call in generation after generation. And according to AFP: Students who start university this year will run up debts of £25,000 by the time they graduate!
It’s really a lose lose situation for the people of Britain. Many poorer students are shying away from University (rightfully so) because they’d rather have a hold on their finances. This leaves the upper classes, who can generally still afford it. But a growing trend sees University graduates leaving the country and working overseas in more stable and prosperous economies, where there are actually jobs.
Many of the students that are staying with the sinking ship are in the same boat as everyone else; jobless.
If any young person wants to support the economy and themselves, their best bet would be to put down the books and learn a trade, a simple I do this or produce that and you pay me for my trouble. As opposed to climbing the ladder of some nonsensical bureaucracy or financial scamming juggernaut. If it must be a company, make it British, one that operates wholly inside the UK. The worst thing you could do right now is work for a bank or a multinational corporation because the majority of these are simply sucking us dry before they move on to China.
This doesn’t mean you have to put your cherished brain to the side for the better of the country. Make it work for you! The big lie is that you need a piece of paper to confirm your intellect. The real intellectuals are the ones that bucked the system and did their own thing. I didn’t go to Uni and have everything I need; because I got off my ass and DID IT.
So you wanna make documentaries and go to film school. How about you just make movies now. As long as you know how and have real talent you don’t need paper to confirm it, you’ll have your first film to confirm it.
So you wanna be a journalist. Hello! You have the Internet now, 50 quid cameras that shoot HD and the freedom to give your own spin.
Take control of your own life and stop giving the crooks £25k a year.

Well, actually, I have massive student loan debts. I did get a graduate job at my old University, where I used to work before I graduated. I lost my job after moving from one department to another and had the Manager from hell.
Anyway, it’s been difficult finding a full-time graduate position after that episode.
Additionally, I have student loan debts of over £26,000. Unfortunately, that money will never get paid back as long as I’m working in dead-end jobs paying £6 something per hour. We also have massive competition from thousands of people who continue to flood into the UK.
Do we really need degrees? Probably not, regardless of whether you have that piece of paper or not, some employers just don’t care anyway, experience is what most look for.
Yes, I am working on leaving the UK, myself.
