"You have plenty of time to figure out how to be successful in the workplace, so I think obsession with graduate employment within six months is unhelpful.”

“Middle-class parents and universities have become too fixated with using their degrees to get a job.Instead parents should encourage their children to move back home and explore their options before embarking on a career.”

“I was still in sixth form at school when I agreed to the student loan.

I had no experience of loans, credit cards or mortgages.

Like all the other thousands of students in the UK, we trusted the government

that the interest rate would remain low – at around 0%-0.5%.”
