increasing debt?

Hi my name is casey I have a question about student debt, I know it is different to the debt that most people are discussing but I just wanted to get some opinions and put my mind at rest.
First of all I started doing a degree at an agricultural college because it meant I could do driving lessons, live at home, have good job and play the drums whenever I want and shoot videos for youtube. After a year and a half I got fed up because I had lost my good job, passed my driving test, people stopped watching my videos, was disillusioned with place of study and just wanted to go somewhere new... I got the chance to move to wales where much of my family are and study a new health sciences course at university of wales institute where I will be moving soon.
My concern is that I might have 34000 of student debt by the time I graduate there when I am 23 because I have already been claiming financial support.. Am I worrying unnecessarily because you only pay it off when you can and there is no pressure on you to make repayments?? Also I have started a business which has the potential to be a great success and a friend said you shouldn't worry because you will easily pay it off one day anyway?
I think I am wrong to feel down-hearted because I was able to move to wales despite applying late, without having to wait until next year when fees go up to triple current level... so really just looking for more opinions on this.. sorry if thread is in wrong place never used this forum before
