Nope. If I'm not wrong, then most of us ended in this piece of heaven/hellhole because we plays SMAC/X.
Smart people usually get paid well.

Just start whining Here SS is in the area of $17.000 and unemployment at $25.000.

Not suprising that people with computers and regular internet connections are higher paid. All the folks working the McJobs usually don't have a computer sitting there when they work .
That doesn't mean that the poll is accurate. But I also don't think its realistic to think that poly is in any way representative of society ( American, Canadian Finnish or whatever)

Why would you include loans as part of your income? I bought a place not too long ago - should my income go up a few hundred thousand because of my mortgage?
If you're a student living entirely off of loans or parents, your income is 0. If you have a part time or summer job, your income is whatever you make there.

Because our loans are government provided and interest free. Because the education they give pays for itself - ie at all points you are better off for having it, as the repayments are much less than the extra earned because of having a degree.
And yes, your income would be higher the year you took out a mortgage, and lower every year for the term of the loan.

The number of students who include loans as part of their income may reflect the success o the advertising campaigns of the credit card companies. If the students were serious about this, it is a bit frightening. |
Nope, student loans here are government provided. They're interest free in real terms, and are paid back only when you're earning over £15k, and as an extra tax, before you get your paycheck.

Personally, all of my income comes from family support, save from the odd job (which I hope will dramatically increase soon).
I don't know any of my colleague students who lives off loans. Most of them (being from the middle class) are supported by their parents, with the occasional aid from the State. Actually, my colleague who's from the poorest family has an higher income than me, thanks to aid.
Among the French students from poor families, aid and jobs are where money comes from. Loans are quite rare.
