about student finance and economics.

but hope that you had fun flaming me because think i deserved it Smile

in case anybody is still interested
a) student debt is not worse than the alternative:
less people (and of those that go richer people) going to university
or
current tax payers paying a greater share of the costs when most of them never had the chance to go

students are poor but on average they will be a lot richer in their 30s and 40s than most of the rest of the population

b) most people are better off going to uni. This is not to deny that for some things do not work out, this is why it is important that the system of loans or graduate tax is regulated by the govt so that those who do not get the benefits do not have to pay

c) what i meant was that you do not have to find the money for tuition fees up front (currently- you need in the past)

Grin are you too scared to go back and put that on the thread itself or is it already at 1000+ with people yelling at you?

LittleRedPumpkin · 12/10/2010 19:05

Hey, don't be mean Hecate.

Well done for coming back and saying sorry. Smile

HecateQueenOfWitches · 12/10/2010 19:07

I wasn't. Shock I was being funny in a friendly pigtail pulling way.

Well, obviously not.

LittleRedPumpkin · 12/10/2010 19:09

Yeah, I know. I should have put a grin or a wink or something.

Here we are:

Hey, Grin, don't be mean Hecate. Wink

Better? Smile

HecateQueenOfWitches · 12/10/2010 19:16

A bit.

Can you say it again without the Smile at the end.

And maybe buy me a bun?

Grin
LittleRedPumpkin · 12/10/2010 19:40
