It’s that time of year again when global issues take second place in the British media, to make room for the discussion of high level ‘A’. Packed with case studies of “Laura achieved nine A grades and was rejected from his first choice,” you have to wonder how long students can maintain the will to study. It’s not just the fact that companies and newspapers are debating whether students are actually getting more stupid (levels “A” are the new GCSEs apparently), students are debating themselves whether they are becoming more stupid to even consider going to college first. Lazy British journalists are still reciting that the average graduate starting salary is still about 25,000.

Even when they get a job, many find that does not meet the high expectations pumped into them in college. It is not no wonder the “Quarter-life crisis” has become a lifestyle segment. If you are a graduate student at a university virgin, you should read the article by Damian Barr “Crying on the inside,” Times Online (,8123-1093294, 00. Html), is an excellent summary of life as a ticket British twenty-something.
In a little more practice, but as a constructive note, there is a wealth of advice and support available on the Internet. The support for learning is a great place (and moneynet offers an excellent guide to student finance (-guide/index.shtml), but not get distracted by the search for new loans and credit cards!
