Where do I deposit the 50p?

Without wishing to be unduly unkind. How does borrowing £25,000 for your education equate with a £14,000 pa job. It hardly seems worth all the effort.

Clearly taking any job possible \ make ends meet until such a time is able to get into chosen profession is often a scenario that most face \ take..

Personally, faced with paying 50p for stamp or charges / repayments required I would jump through any kind of hoop that they came up with..

Was wondering this myself.

Send me your paypal email and I'll send you 50p to buy the bloody stamp..... or I'll give you a fiver and you can send it recorded delivery!

was just going to raise that point. Going to university for £14,000 a year seems pointless.

Sorry to be a gripe but just pay the stamp fee.

Everyone has to start somewhere. The cost of a degree usually pays itself back in spades in the end.

I didn't go to university and I earn around £22k per year, but also depends on which sector you work in.. And which area in UK

And anyway, there are many reasons for going to university other than to earn a high income.

In some ways I agree but my DD will be 35K:eek::eek::eek: in debt due to a four yr uni course ( and she is on the lower tution fees)
Average starting salary for her choosed career is 23k, but hopefully with lots of chances to improve her pay. A degree is the only way into her career choice.

And whle this is MSE to quibble over 50p seems a bit daft IMHO
