The new higher education loan scheme, dubbed the 'lifelong loan entitlement', will be worth the equivalent of four years of post-18 education.

    I just think this is a total rip off. You are effectively given 40k for 4 years study and asked to pay a higher tax for life at a rate that is ridiculous. 

    I would contemplate doing this at 55 and retiring early and becoming a student, knowing full well I won't pay any back!
