I finished my degree in May 2009, I was lucky that I had already got my foot in the door at company and started full-time the day after my final presentation. I don't have the massive debt that most have as I travelled in to uni and came out with a debt of £9k. We got £1k back for completing our 1st and 2nd year of the course which I used to pay off the loan and get it down to £7k. I have since paid off another £3k of it and am paying £50 a month.

I do understand why they are pissed though, alot of students will come out with a massive debt and find it very hard to land a job. Yes, if their salary isn't a certain amount after 30 years they won't have to pay it, but they won't find it easy getting a decent motor/property in this day and age if they are earning less than £21k or whatever it is.
