I think you start paying once your pay scale hits a certain threshold....so if you never hit that then you pay nothing back.

I can't say I ever wanted to go to uni until my daughter went....and by that time I had got a lot of further education under my belt...and a lot of life experience too. But I was retired and it was not feasible.

There are quite a lot of courses at Uni that are not very good....and they certainly do not equip you for the workplace.
Employers have complained that the graduates applying for jobs are often not up to the task.
