Uni results.

On a side note, my daughter, after graduating from high school with honours (only 3 in the school got honours), got 13.68 out of 14 in her University entrance exam.

She takes after her mother but I'm still proud.

Good on her!

It's a mess and there's no easy explanation. I can't speak for the UK, but in the US kids are discouraged to go into "trades" and that's really messed it all up. Too many kids in school with no clear goal and the costs go up and the quality goes down.

Honestly knowing several people that dropped out as it wasn't for them, bright people at that, I have to agree.
Not enough encouraging entering the trades, and poor career pathway education at schools.
Know several mates who would have been much better suited for a trade/apprenticeship than dropping 10k on a course you can't stand and then going down that path later and in debt.

Depends on your wage, how much you leant and other things. Starts at abar 15/20 quid.

Until I finally cleared mine, I was paying a fair amount more per month from the outset and even more so later on due to my salary increasing.

It annoyed me that when I signed up it was almost sold as a free loan that nobody bothered with, but then I noticed the interest I was accruing.

Add to that how the bank took a keen interest in how much I owed and was repaying each month before they'd offer us a mortgage.

This was all before extortionate student fees per year and the need for massive maintenance loans, so no wonder what it'll be like now.

I used to sneer at Uni. But well done for all the dedication, good luck in your next steps!
