Seriously? :huh:

It was not a "dig" at anyone - apart from the stupid system :mad:

How on earth could it be a dig at you when I have no idea how you or anyone else funds their degrees - if you get it paid for, then brilliant (but if you do, why shouldn't everyone?), if not, then I sympathise as I know how hard it is trying to find the money to do it.

It gets a little frustrating trying to find money to try to better yourself / your prospects when others seem to just get it thrown at them / the rules governing getting the money are impossible to meet - that's all I was saying

I was just trying to highlight how unfair the system is .... it should be that anyone who wants to improve themselves can - not whether you get a certain benefit etc.:mad:

Sorry, I'm a bit tetchy at the mo, trying to funding is almost impossible, yet they chuck money away x
