Yep, I feel terribly lucky to have had a state-provided student grant, having finished degree in 1989. God knows how much it'll all cost in 10 years when my daughter will (hopefully) be looking to college/uni !

And remember to "pull your finger out" regularly on the CO (and smoke) meter

Yeah I'm proud of both my lads. The eldest has a Masters degree in aerospace engineering, working at Rolls Royce as a manufacturing engineer, about £35,000 per year, abit more like it. But Higher education, especially these days, wihout grants, student loans and such high tution fees worries me. The politicians say graduates wil obtain better jobs to compensate for the debt they incurr, some will, but I believe the vast majority will not. Students do not have to repay their loans until they earn something like £15,000 per year. I think in this present climate millions of pounds will never be recovered.

good company RR and aerospace is depsite economic conditions is still a "in business" -if he went to the USA he would earn twice as much though .

Re uni fees, I was actually putting a little each month into a FTSE tracker from her birth, but lost nerve and cashed-in just before the 2008 crash, but possibly good move as was quids-in and have since read some experts who now even question the mantra that stock-market is best way to save long term..(we've had two big crashes now: 2002 dot-bomb AND 2008 bank-bomb).
