As for the tablets Willow my comisserations I have personal exprrience in this field, although I have had the very best of treatment when it was required and dealt with admirably.
Law is very old fashioned still and we still have to read out of huge dusty volumes of cases, and if we plagiarise then we are likely to never have a legal career, just as it was when you were young. Alot of subjects are much simpler now, for example there are degrees in film, media, sociology etc, which are undoubtedly easier, but it seems a few people are mistaken about how much students from low income families have to pay towards education compared to those with higher income. The difference isnt all that significant at all.

Why is it that older people believe young people dont study as hard and earn their education simply because there is more money to support them and more technology?
