Quote from: marty34 on February 28, 2024, 05:48:06 PMI thought employers would look at someone having loads of different jobs as a benefit.

No?
would it not be seen as someone who can't settle, doesn't know what they want?

Watching that 007 road to a million thing. Hard to know how much of it is real. There are some thick people out there and the belfast lads are doing my head in

Quote from: lurganblue on February 28, 2024, 01:36:18 PMThe debt here is staggering. What is the point of starting out working life like that? Youd need to be earning some wage afterwards to make this worthwhile.
I think so many people don't know about it. We were told it's cheap money, you'll barely notice it coming out of your pay. It's just not true. Unless you're still earning below the 25k threshold, which in that case, what was the point?

Quote from: Delgany 2nds on February 25, 2024, 04:20:54 PMPay back for 30 years !
9% of portion of salary above £ 25000 threshold

Absolutely cheapest borrowing you'll ever get, but it's still a debt.


its 6.25%. I have been qualified 8 years now and been repaying, I just checked there and I still owe 27k. I borrowed 26607. So I owe more than I borrowed. I'll be paying 200 quid a month until the 30 years is up.

Where were you able to check this at?

I really don't think kids know what they are getting into..

Paying a loan for that length of time is crazy
They definitely don't realise, my school was just obsessed with the students into uni figures. Do a course, any course, get a loan. It's basically a graduate tax.

Any chance bayern throw a bag of money at klopp? I can't remember what he said when he left dortmund. Would he ever go to bayern?

Jota was ahead of him, so it would have been offside. Imagine had he squared it and got blown for offside the abuse he would get. Bottler, no confidence etc.
