Smile Career Development Loans

Dont do it is my advice, I have never thought the idea of being newly qualified with a dig debt to pay a good one. Just another way of keeping you on the great hamster wheel of life paying tax. Something that the government is good at doing here in the UK. HAVING to do any job just to pay your loans takes the edge off the fun. Save for it anyway you can, even if it means selling your worldy goods and living in a tent, working 2 jobs, eating beans on toast ( a lot ) start to barter, exchange labour for goods, accomodation. If its what you really want you can do it without having to go in debt. You arrived on this planet with nothing and you sure as hell wont be checking in any luggage when you leave. Im not having a go at anyone but you dont actually need a TV in every room or a toaster, DVD player, X-box, CD collection etc. You wont have time to use them if your head is in a copy of "pooleys" when your not working to pay for your flight time.
