Students to suffer again...

If that is a job and they get paid and can pay their taxes and NI and way in society, yes.

staying at home at the taxpayer's expense is not a job.

Like all the illegals, scroungers and dossers, and you are now adding students to that list? Shame on you.

I have a friend whose son got an engineering degree over 2 years ago. 'Cant' work because he has a bad back. All he can do at the moment is sit in a gaming chair playing online video games for 10 hours a day and go on the odd go-kart, rifle shooting or paintball day out. Thinks he should start a job on £50k a year so is not interested in any job with a starting salary less than that. He's never worked in his life, even part-time. 26 years old.

Who's the idiot.. him or his parents...

I'd go for the latter, I'd be kicking my boy on the street if he acted like that.

Parents clearly haven't done a good enough job on showing him the reality of life.

My mate who works with me studied for an art degree now he's a plumber...

Why should we pay for someone to train to be a lawyer so they can charge us £200 per hour. Or anyone to ply their trade in a foreign country.
