That's a terrible system, IMO. Why should we be rewarding B-Ark people while at the same time punishing people who get degrees in Engineering and Medicine? I can understand the logic for tax-supported universities (not necessarily agree, but understand), but this just seems... intellectually dysgenic.
- hohod 11y agoThe same way you tax more people earning more money ?
- codeulike 11y agoBecause perhaps there's a view that its worth something to society for people to study things that dont necessarily lead to a high salary?
- gozur88 11y agoI can't think of anything that would be as valuable to society as engineering or medicine, say, and still wouldn't land you a remunerative position. Anyway, that's an argument for taxpayer-supported universities, not for universities paid for by the students who choose to learn skills other people will find useful.
- nness 11y agoPunishing,really? It's not an unfair burden for those people and hardly be unsurprisingly for them.
- Symbiote 11y agoThe threshold for payment is quite low, around £20000 pretty year in salary before tax. I'd expect most people to make some payments, although compared to an engineer the artist might take a few extra years to reach the minimum salary.
- huherto 11y agoAt least the lender can make extra considerations. Career choice, academic history, etc. Better than lending any amount to anyone and still have a guaranteed payment.
