    I’m not shocked, I went the apprenticeship route and I was able to get enough money together to buy a home last year after getting a job in my sector.

    Meanwhile my partner went to uni and is doing manual labour work while renting out a room, they got their degree but they can’t find any work in their sector.

    If I went to uni, I would probably would not have been in any state to be saving any kind of money

      It’s a sad state of affairs. Education is the crux of society and them paywalling it by making it prohibitively expensive has been shocking.

      Turning education into a business is a mistake.
