Pissed me off something rotten to see £120 slip out of my wage each month to pay for a course which was unfulfilling and ultimately a waste of time. There is a bigger social issue here - the 50% target labour set to get young people into Uni. This has devalued the university experience for most and from an employers perspective diluted the quality of people leaving university. Bringing it back to the SLC, the loan shouldn't be so easy to get and should only be available for those with real aptitude for higher learning. Otherwise the 'debt' is for some just a painful reminder of a big waste of time. Thank God mine is paid off. Spoken like a true student dude.
