Everybody creates their own stresses in full time employment Garinda (putting aside the insecurity of a job at the moment). Was just trying to show that not an easy life for most students running alongside part time jobs to sustain a decent income, and they do gain experience that enables them to put forward a decent view on issues we discuss on here.
There was not a day went by when I did not enjoy going to work, and no mean task selling textiles and traveling the length and breadth of the U.K., and looking after my son and my granddaughter for lengthy times. Went to work for a rest ... LOL., however, that is just my own experience.
Just going back to the 'subsidised educational grant'. The
loan is subsidised by the tax payers of course, but the pay back does include interest, and statements resemble mortgage statements ... big chunk of interest, small amount off the sum.
