What Caused Your Debt in the First Place

I'd get him to look round, or maybe have a word for his careers advisor. the better paid jobs ( london based of course) showed Korean,Japanese paid about 10k more. BUt he cant learn all the languages in the world, my mate who does it doesnt speak/ read any other language apart from ordering a biere in french. Wouldnt get too hung up on the qualifications if i were you!

My debt, although not huge, came from Uni. Loads of people think that students live the high life, getting drunk on a regular basis, etc, etc. My student loan covered my accommodation (just) and I worked about 25 hours a week to buy food and do at least some of the things that were expected of student life. (Yes, this eventually involved a CC).

Then in my final year, the OH and I thought it would be a brilliant idea to get a car. It was not. Although I have just cleared that debt, I still regret buying the car as we would have had a nice deposit for a house about now. Grrr. :rolleyes:

That's why I love this board, because now, I can at least laugh at it all and work towards that deposit.
