good argument based in fact...My advice would be do the degree and then you've got it if you need it. Anybody who says about debt bloody ignore them they dont understand how the student finance system works! You get your fees completely paid for by gov, only have to pay it back if you earn over 25k or something (can be clever with it if you have a good accountant) and even if you do make over that threshhold you only pay a percentage, so it just works like a small extra tax. You also get a maintanance loan, and if your parents dont make a lot of money (again, good accountant can sort you out) you can get about 9k for "living expenses" (beer). Essentially you can get a degree and make a small bit of cash out of it if you are clever. Oh and after 30 years ish the whole thing is written off. Pretty much no-one ever actually pays off the student loan, that isnt the idea.
Bull sh!t ,
