I dont get that bit, who's handed their job on a plate?

On gary's point of it not sounding fair if someone who gets a lower level of degree having to pay more of a loan, and those that do better paying less - My view is that it's perfectly fair. If your that desperate to get a good job (which is the whole point of getting in debt and spending another 3-5 years of your life in education) then its up to you to put that extra effort in to make sure it happens. Good things come to those who put in the time and effort to hget somewhere.

I left uni late in the second year due to having surgery - So I didnt end up graduating. But now, I have less debt (well, still 18k for 2 years) and I;ve now turned down 2 very good job offer's from work i've done outside of uni to carry on with Robo Challenge. I'm now contracted 1 day a week by another company for a good wage due to the work I've also done outside of uni.
It seem's to me that in most case's the degree is now not really worth much. It's all about experience and how you present yourself.

That might change when the student fee's rise, as hopefully you wont get the idiot's turn up because it's easier to sign upto uni that go to work (which I knew alot of people at uni like that).

It's like EMA, i've been hoping since I left school that they would get rid of that - unfair paying some people and not others.
