It seems par for the course, given that we have an economy that plunges hugely into recession if credit is cut off, that we have to saddle the next generation with thousands of pounds worth of debt just so that they can qualify to earn the kind of salaries that will pay that debt off.......
Why must we always owe money, both personally and as a nation? It's common sense, to me anyway, that the vast majority of students will spend so long paying their debt off that they will be married with kids of their own, mortgaged to the hilt with car loans on top of that, so much so that they will really struggle to ever be free from debt.
Do we have too many students racking up too much debt that they may never clear? And, is our economy not built on exactly the same quicksand foundations?
