Dark Degrees


A chance for better prospects..?
A brighter future..?
A student loan..?
A party?
A friend?
What were your reasons for going in the first place..?
Networking?
Not having to work yet..?
Parents forced you into it..?
Maybe you're mates had good times to tell you of?
Maybe you thought it just had to be done.

But where are you going..?
Walking into a £30,000/yr job, w/ loan repayments, rent, tv licence, road tax, skyrocketting petrol prices, council tax, gas, electric, water, internet, SkyPlus and that yearly 'Arena' subscription to pay for...?

Endomorphic MC, 21, a Boreham Wood / Oxford resident says,

"..to have a good time, and to get a decent qualification which will serve me well in life..
i suppose i want 3 years of getting to piss about.."

You only get as much as you put in.. whatever that may before..
And for many students, this (and indeed every) year will be the last..
The significance of the degree that you come away w/ surely means more and more with almost every Tom, Dick and Chav turning up for Enrolment Day..
What will the CV look like if you've got the same 2:1 in Sociology as Kevin from Peckham High?
