    . Whilst people accuse students of missing the fact that the repayment threshold has been raised from £15,000 to £21,000 I feel that many people are missing the fact that the debt students will be saddled with will be, in all likelihood, impossible to pay back for most students, as many will not obtain a high paying job as there are so few graduate jobs out there at the moment. So what is the point? .

    So why go into uni if you know there are no jobs. Lots of students are finishing uni only to go on the dole or waste the degree. Whats the point in getting into debt if its not going to pay off.

    The idea of a degree is to get a higher paid job, so if you dont, there is no point in it
