UNI Rant

[Niall]

That's like saying everyone should be bought a Aston martin by the government because it's only a privilege for the rich which is unfair.
You only buy what you can afford. Simple.

No offence, but bollocks.

An Aston Martin benefits the nation in no way. Having an intellectually challenged and stimulated, eloquent, highly literate population can only be a good thing, and is a worthy investment.

Also the student loans systems promote social mobility on a larger scale than owt else the government give back to the population, and without it the absurd class gaps will only widen into yawning chasms. And we'll be stuck with eton lady garden in government forever, making the rich richer, and keeping the poor poor. Wonderful.

Rubbish. There is such a thing as having a over educated population.
Sorry but it is no ones right to go to Uni and doesn't the extremely high rate of jobless Uni students prove that Uni doesn't just get you into a job!
Secondly, you don't need to go to Uni to learn. Technically I have no qualifications what so ever ( only because I never bothered to collect my gcses) and I'm more educated in certain fields than a lot of people who work in these fields!

So your basically saying that the government should pay for people to go to Uni as they wish so that most of the population are highly educated? Brilliant loads more debt for the country that we can't pay back because all these highly educated people can't get jobs in the fields they trained in. Brilliant idea.
