As is usually the case with jobs that are temporary the conversation eventually leads to what it REALLY is you want to do, the money you want to make and how one will go from point A to point B. We (the temp posse) got to the topic of student loans when someone says, "I am about 8,000 quid in debt." I give a smile to signal, "You're almost there....you can nearly see the light." And then he went on to say how outrageously expensive it was and how on earth he would find the way to get himself out of that jam.
Uh....Squeeze me? How much is school over there?!?!
1,200 pds. a year. That's all. And with that the university is able to house, teach, and pay their teachers.
America once again shafted. I wonder what OUR university is doing with nearly 10 times more money. Are they taking a bath in hundred dollar bills????!!? If so, they should know that money is actually VERY dirty and would make a horrible disinfectent.

Well, for one thing the schools are subsidized and so are the students. Yes, it's shocking that Americans pay so much for college. When I went to the Slade (back in the prehistoric age) I paid 50 pounds a semester. Perhaps with a Democratic administration we will realize that we -- as a society -- can make no greater investment than in the education of our youth. Certainly Dad and I felt that way. Love, ma.
