the problem with degree education is not thatits hard (which it reeeally isnt) its just that its sooo fucking expensive..
u have all the spending habits of a regular deisnger (alcohol, drugs, rent, post it notes and pens) as well as £9K tuition fees & studio fees

(Apr 3 07, 11:33)You're right, but it's usually better to get student loans and get through school than not to. The only thing you're losing is money, and if you're smart about it you won't owe much once you're out of school.
I live at home to cut the cost of school (as sucky as it is sometimes), but that comes with benefits, like free housing and food, etc. Also, I have a great job and I use about half the money I get from the summer for school.
Overall, I think you don't lose much from going to school, so why not tough it out? I realize that some people just can't get through it for one reason or another, but if it's just laziness then obviously that's a bad reason.
------------------------------No one has asked me about marks, as they shouldn't. They are definitely too subjective. Obviously I did *something* if I can get through school. I mean, seriously, has anyone asked about people's GPA? I doubt it.
However, employers have definitely asked me about my education and what I plan on doing. It also comes up in random conversations with co-workers. My current place of work even gives us raises based on how many years of school we do.
