Not so fast, buddy. You got the "working" part ok, but who said anything about money? Now you'll have to give it all back so some other poor student can get through college free of charge  

I still remember you squeaking about how little money you get from the government as a student. When I called it free lunch, you got very upset and you said that you'll repay the debt when you turn comes.


Well, your turn is here, pay up


As you recall I said it wasn't a free lunch due to the fact that my parents, with high salaries and even higher tax rates, already had paid for that four times over, even after paying for various other 'free' things. As both of us have pointed out, they aren't free. Furthermore, what's been 'given' to me has also been taken away from me since I've worked as well as studied. I squeak when you don't get what you put in. When the f*ing freeloaders gets 90% of it.

As it stands I consider education an investment. More educated people means a better economy. People with educations also earn more and therefore pay more taxes.

Tell you what's sick. I go from being a student where I got $250 in grants from the government each month to being an unemployed bum and getting around $850 (through the union I'm a member of). You'd get around the same amount on welfare. Mucho reason to study, when you 'earn' more on welfare.

I'll pay for universities, police, fire brigades, the military and some to the welfare system, but then that's where it stops. I resent sneaky remarks hinting that I'm a freeloader. Really annoys me because I'm a big time believer in self sufficiency - to the degree that I seek hobbies where literally your life is totally in your own hands (even though the risk is small, it's still to be handled by YOU, no one else).

And even though I pay taxes, I'll have toejameloads more money. I'll pay the taxes happily for the things I support and grudgingly for those I do not - much like you.

Oh, incidentally, I've paid MORE in taxes the last two years than I've gotten in grants. Sold one software solution and that was that, so go away mietla :).

Now I got work to seek. Saw one asking for security oriented programmers. Gotta write that CV and application :D

More educated people means a better economy

 Have to disagree with you there. For a better economy you need a nation of well trained drones.

An over educated population just causes problems

EDIT - however, congrats on finishing the course. Hell I flunked my degree and still got a good job

Congrats Santa.  Now you have a degree so you can be smart.  You're not stupid and uneducated like Animal.  If you get more degrees you can be super smart like Dinger and I.  W00t bow down to our super mental powers!

Tofu RIBS!!!!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

So what you are saying is that if you end up with a couple of degrees you can end up like you and Dinger?

LOL funked, grunherz and others :D.

Animal, have been looking into the US thing. Seems like a toejameload of red tape. it's almost as if Americans really try to discourage Europeans from coming to the US. All while there are millions of illegal immigrants from poorer nations and lots of legal ones that seem to have less trouble getting a Visa. I dunno.

I'll look for a job here and try to figure out how to get to the US. Have applied for a computer security job and am hoping I'm getting it :D.
