The same goes for my Driving, I will learn to drive when I can afford it and am not going to be deterred by attempts to make the driving test more difficult. A PhD I shall not do because I have no confidence in the employment service or employers and do not believe that at the current cost of a PhD being over £9,000 that it is worth that amount. Increasing fees in 2010 is a joke, it will end up with Universities being full of rich kids and the poor being driven out. Personally the Government is living in la la land at increasing the current rate of £3,000. I'm glad students are not being put off from the current rate of £3,000, it should show the government that if people in education want to do a qualification, they will do so despite objections.
