Ideal job now for graduates to repay their student loans with.If EU drivers were stealing british jobs, why there are not taken back ?
I doubt that job would be any better than any other for paying-off those large loans. However I have no problem with graduates taking on such jobs, no-one is too good for honest work, I've done jobs like that. This is a perfect opportunity for government to take on a role only it can fulfil and train/employ directly the people to fill positions the private sector claims it can't (and in many cases won't) fulfil without financial cost concerns and passing-on the loss of financial profit to customers.Ideal job now for graduates to repay their student loans with.
There's another silver lining, EV.

It takes a while to train people and it used to be at the expense of the individual. Much easier and cheaper for British companies to employ those already in possession of a licence from Eastern European countries. This has skewed the lorry drivers market for years resulting in lower than expected pay across the industry and hence the low uptake by British drivers.
Student loans? That is another con in UK.
Many EU countries have state studies for free. You pay only for private education and not necessary better one. In here you have still class system like in India, just hidden behind things like 'student loan'.
Friends in DK have their kids in university there, all free from fees. A big burden off the family expenses, and from what I can gather they are getting a good education. Some argue that the EU and its members are neoliberal but the reality is somewhat different.
But they have the taxation system to support that. I have been out of the Danish tax system for more than 25 years now, so a lot may have changed, but the top rate was 68% and on average, I paid 50% of my salary in tax. On top of that is the extraordinary car tax they pay, so it all adds up. Remember that we used to be able to afford free universities in this country? What changed? (apart from the percentage of school leavers going to learn media studies and sport science)

Denmark is an opt-out EU member with a retained sovereign currency. The economies of Scandinavia (though increasingly not in Sweden) tend toward social democracy. The economic approach of the rest of the EU doesn't.

The same in much poorer Eastern Europe.
Here you have to speak queens english to be allowed entry to elite schools. Resist it is not, but close to it. But hey! now there is brexit and heaven on earth... I mean petrol stations ;D
Aye, Brexit . Is English now taught as the official second language in your country/area?
I do not think they teach any language in Croydon. Even English
Eric Pode would be outraged to hear that.
Exactly that. In the 70s and 80s 5% of 18 year olds went on to study a degree, now it's 20-25% or so. Who's paying for that?Remember that we used to be able to afford free universities in this country? What changed?

These days mostly their parents, loans and a tiny percentage by the LEA.Exactly that. In the 70s and 80s 5% of 18 year olds went on to study a degree, now it's 20-25% or so. Who's paying for that?
From personal experience with regards to our kids, my wife and I did....the parents.Exactly that. In the 70s and 80s 5% of 18 year olds went on to study a degree, now it's 20-25% or so. Who's paying for that?
