I don't get the 'don't pay tuition fees' stuff at all

There's no way my kids won't earn the threshold. Why would they unless unwell etc? They all want to into business / IT / science (maths type) fields

We've said will only fund either vocational degrees, business or IT. That's it. If they want to do a hobby degree that's fine but they pay of do a night course at college. If they want to be a teacher they can learn on the job. The tuition fees don't match up to the salary after.

Our choice what we find but I don't want my kids growing up in poverty or without choices. Life's why you make it (the aspects you can control, several you cannot). May totally fail who knows

How do you propose a "teacher learns on the job"???

So you wouldn’t pay for them to do a Maths degree but you would pay for them to do a Business degree? 🤣

You don't want them growing up without choices but you utterly refuse to give them a choice?

I'm appalled by the salary of senior nurses. It's shocking. When a corporate CEO earns in excess of £1m and our senior nurses are earning £40k, it's just wrong.

But nurses are usually women and, for some reason, women don't like to discuss salary.

This is interesting because salary doesn’t always mean everything - 28k a year but my employer pays 28% into my pension - I pay 4.3-4.6%

God I hear you. I’m on similar. I end up working through my break and dinner most days as well as doing an hour extra each day, plus days in the holidays for free, just to keep up with the workload. 45 hours a week for what, £1200 a month take home or summat rubbish like that. I can’t see me staying there longterm. The stress isn’t worth it for that, and now the longer holidays don’t make up for it now my kids are older and I’m on my own all summer holidays. The fact I can’t take leave when I actually NEED to is also really starting to piss me off.

what do you do now?

Show quote history

I don’t do anything, I left on 21st October and it’s a terrible time for job searching. I have some school admin temping lined up for next week and January, at the same rate I was on before except this will just be answering the phone and managing the desk. I had to leave though, my mental health was on the floor and I needed to get out.
there is sooooooooooo much out there. I am looking at hybrid/remote roles and have applied for a few things in non-school roles.
