I could buy that amazing Carrera hybrid bike from Halfords which would rid me of transport problems and allow me to get some exercise.
I could buy that amazing Microsoft Surface 3 table which would be a great improvement on my brother’s current one which sounds like a washing machine and is more clogged up than an ancient vacuum cleaner.
I could buy a new phone instead of having to deal with a hand me down that has a drained out battery and heats up like a BBQ.
I could spend more money on my family instead of having to squirrel away my earnings in the bank.
I could buy the furniture my bedroom and living room needs instead of having to stare at blank, empty space.
I could help my dad buy a new car to replace the exhausted, rinsed and aged elephant that he currently has to drive around.
But if I do these things, then there is a chance I will have no money to pay for my University fees next year which is something that frightens me. That is the problem with having to save up for fees, you have to constantly think you are utterly broke even if you have a substantial amount saved up for in reality, it will all go the day the fees are due.

They don’t have that option and even if they did, I would not be able to afford it at the moment.
£9,000 a year for 3 years and the current interest-based system is not inline with my religious beliefs which means I have to bear the cost of the fees immediately. A new system is being planned by the government but it just needs to be implemented as soon as possible.

Understood. I had loans for one year of my education after working full time and going to University full time for three years.

I’ll have to do the same but borrow money from family instead. I am hoping to pay for two years myself or at least one and a half.

So sad, but a huge reason why I never went to school. The debt incurred is such a commitment that I likened it to marraige and frightened myself out of it.

This is exactly my problem and my last year of tuition is due soon. I’ sure I’ll get the statement in the mail any day. I have money to buy things I want and need but I can’t afford it because everything I have is spoken for. If only my parents understood this. They just think I’m cheap. At least I’m in my final year and have successfully avoided a loan so far.

Haha I get that problem too. No I am not being stingy, I just need my money!

Gee, I feel your pain. I’m paying for my own university and even though it’s a lot less than the other good ones, it’s still a lot more. Universities are becoming money gobblers these days, don’t you think?
Thanks for dropping by my blog!

Oh yes very big money gobblers! They have become more profit focussed and operate like businesses now.

Sometimes I think it’s not even worth it. I mean, all the best people never went to college. And we could all go to universities, expensive ones, and still not be like anywhere near Steve Jobs or Bill Gates.

Yet the uncertainty is what is so problematic. I think University is good but needs to be cheaper. True but then again we don’t have to be, we just need to make.sort of difference 🙂

Yeah I know. I think it’s utter bullshit. People should be more open minded and allow others to choose their fields as they like.

Definitely. I get the anti-English comments all the time. People tend to make an assumption that since I am studying English, it must mean I am definitely going into teaching!

That’s bull. But anyway, what are you going to become? And where do you live?

I am not exactly certain yet. Funnily enough, teaching was my future career a year or two ago but I have definitely realised my options are much broader than that, not that there is anything wrong with teaching! Journalism, writing and marketing are other potentials.

Journalism sounds cool. It the “in” field right now. You could blog or write for some newspapers if you would want to and still have a job in journalism. Excellent choice!
