If you go volunteering, traveling for a few years, stop working to reproduce, your repayment obligations ceases until such time as you're earning over the designated amount. <BR/><BR/>the recently elected somewhat more left government totally abolished all places for AUS citize4ns and perm residents (though perm res. need to pay the 15% up front) that are full fee paying; that is - you get one of these places at a government funded uni (and all but 2 Aust unis are gov. funded) or you get no place at all.chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428341662448130100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21816024.post-90274957032395695862009-04-10T02:34:00.000-05:002009-04-10T02:34:00.000-05:00yo, you're aiming too low. signed up to start my t...yo, you're aiming too low. <BR/><BR/>signed up to start my third degree. i have government funded places, which mean the Aut gov pays for 85% of my fees. for the remaining 15% (BA: $4K AU a year - $2700US; JD - $8K AU a year - $5500US) i am allowed to defer payment, the government lends me the money. <BR/><BR/>repayment comes out of my tax, but only after I'm earning a taxable income of $45KAU (about $30K US) per annum. It is a % repayment rate, so you pay a % amount increasing with income. <BR/><BR/>Last of all - no interest, but indexed to inflation. <BR/><BR/>Your system.... makes me hurt to think about. <BR/><BR/>jaelchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428341662448130100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21816024.post-21209419981585133542009-04-09T19:49:00.000-05:002009-04-09T19:49:00.000-05:00We'll put Canada next on the list!I am firmly conv...We'll put Canada next on the list!<BR/><BR/>I am firmly convinced that it behooves the powers that be to keep education levels low, particularly for the working and poor classes, so that there is a steady stream of workers ill-equipped to do anything but work in menial jobs. And, furthermore, those workers, without a good education, are likely to be unfamiliar with their rights as workers and, say, the benefits of unionization. <BR/><BR/>I mean, Wal-Mart always needs workers!

It is in any country's best interest to have a well-educated workforce, and that means making it possible for people to pursue post-secondary education.<BR/><BR/>Once you win that war in the US, could you come up here and try it out for Canadians too?Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227240807956480127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21816024.post-39457710580274093522009-04-09T15:06:00.000-05:002009-04-09T15:06:00.000-05:00i wanted to go to college but did not qualify for ...i wanted to go to college but did not qualify for help because my parents made too much money (even though i never saw any of it). i tried to go again later in life, but could not get past my feeling that i should not have to pay for classes i did not want to take. i do not like the education system in this country. i hear all the time about healthcare for the masses--we also need to find a way to bring education to the masses!!em for mightyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652288085526823946noreply@blogger.com
