If only my government would do the same...
Just curious - what’s the average cost of a post-secondary degree in Britain? In Canada it’s significantly less than in the United States. Not to say young people here don’t have student debt (many do) but not necessarily the crushing, high-five-figure or beyond amounts that some of our DIS friends refer to.If only my government would do the same...
Ten to fifteen years is an awfully long time.A town in Ohio is introducing legislation offering to pay off half of your student loan debt, up to $50,000, if you buy a house there. You must stay 10 years to get 80% and 15 to get 100%. This article doesn't say it, but I heard on the radio that they expect the tax base to grow enough to pay for the program.
I think it's an interesting concept, what do you all think?

The universities here can charge up to a maximum of £9,250 ($13,050 US) per year, and add the maintenance loan on top, the debt can be within the high 5-figures.Just curious - what’s the average cost of a post-secondary degree in Britain?

If someone does this when they're 25 or 30, when time is up, they're 40 to 45, and some of the best years of their lives have gone by!
It's great if they're happy, but not-so-great if they're not.
