Its a loan, most students take jobs under just to try and avoid repaying. This has to come from somewhere

Do you have any evidence whatsoever to support this, or is it just another in a long line of your bizarre posts?

There's no financial reason to take a job that is lower paid to avoid paying any loan back

That's the question, or is it your bizarre post with nothing to prove the other way?


Not many pay student loans back, hence them getting tighter on repayment

What? You said that students purposely take lower paid jobs to avoid paying loans back. Where on earth have you got this idea from? That's what agrinnall is asking.

And in any case, why would anyone do that? Doesn't make sense financially to take less to avoid having 9% of some of it taken out of your pay packet.

Not many? Any figures to back that up and a break down on qualifications?
