@project I went to Uni after working for two years and I still need my parents help for Halls fees. I have a surplus of money I accrued whilst working the year before going and with the money I got from the grant I still came through the year with slightly less savings than I started with. Some people get more money if their parents don’t earn as much, and so can get away with it, but for many others, loans don’t even cover the exorbitant funds that Uni Halls demand.
Jobs, in Plymouth at least, are not as easy to get as you might think especially as employers prefer a person who doesn’t need to fit the job around their 39 hours a week on Studies. Schools are cr*p at teaching you the realities of life, mine didn’t even show us how to write a CV.
Some people need advice and OP doesn’t need that brand of “advice”.
