I'm bored and my back's killing me from laying flooring yesterday and gardening today. If I don't do this while I'm sat in front of the computer I'll end up on eBay buying a motorbike or something daft. :LOL:

Imagine thinking you know what everyone's debt is for and who's is worthy and who's isn't.

I guess they're not all equal after all eh Napoleon?

The thing is so many people say this that or the other group should be paid more. There are plenty of threads on here about it. There are also plenty of threads where people are moaning about how much tax they pay and how expensive everything is.

Indeed it isn't. It's funded by the tax payer, and you don't have to pay a penny of it back until you earn over £27k a year. If you don't hit that the debt's written off. Nice terms if you can get them, especially when as you point out it's a p1ss poor investment. Still, not as bad as investing in property say. :rolleyes:

Ok we'll leave it there

So you're saying someone who does a degree in nursing is unlikely to stay in nursing their whole career? That is a bizzare thing to say or think. It's not like getting a business degree and switching from company to company.

Nurses, vets, teachers, doctors etc train in a very specific area and largely stay in it

Most people don't do a degree in teaching, they do a degree in maths, English etc and get a job in teaching. Realise they hate it and get another of the many jobs their degree is relevant to. Completely different to a nursing degree

I said train in very specific areas, I meant people with a degree in teaching but yes it wasn't a great example. Dentist would of been better

I did check with my Mrs and she said that there is still quite a high percentage of teachers that do the full four year teaching degree. Her's is a school that specialises in training new teachers coming via different routes.

It will be lets just make sure we keep the prices high! Hopefully Covid will be a lesson to anyone who has undercut/undercharged or charges peanuts that you can't run a business and prepare for all situations without charging a decent rate.
 
So @FreeD why dont you go ltd? Your accountant advised you against going ltd but your paying £10k self assessment tax? Dsnt make sense at all
[/QUOTE]

I don't know mate it has been discussed a couple of times as I know you pay less tax/NI dividends through LTD...
 
Thing is with most of these jobs 40-50K especially public sector you have job security and can probably work in them until the grave...where as plastering you have until you are 40 then it's rapidly down hill and no pension to fall back on

This is pretty humbling and extremely sad and if you think going to work is worth dying for you are truly insane.
