Here in America you pay for your college education no matter what. It doesn't matter how much your job pays or even if you can find a job. The loan never goes into default but must and will be paid in full. I went into the military for six years to get my schooling and then continued it when I got out, while working full time in a factory, so that I wouldn't be in debt for 30 years. Occasionally, you get turds who applied for welfare and then used it to put themselves through school and justified it by saying it went to use for the public good but sort of forget to admit that it also gave them a free ride which I didn't get (i.e. "You gave me welfare which I used to get off welfare, aren't you proud of me?"). But it was always illegal. In Britain, such freebies seem to be legal and quite the norm and they're whining. People on this thread are "GO STUDENTS!!" They look like a bunch of spoiled brats!! Whatever are they complaining about? What am I not understanding here??
