I don't think every school leaver should expect to be a lawyer, but with the forthcoming extension of education to age 18, it might be encouraging for many students to think a more realistic entry to decent jobs may be available, without thinking they have to amass a huge debt by going to Uni.

In my opinion, money spent giving young people hope that they may have a future, is far better than spending it on police forces to contain the frustration the youth currently feel because they think it isn't worth bothering...
