Why do you think the current generation are so badly off? If they want to go, they go, and they don’t pay anything back if they stay on a salary deemed to have not been increased due to having a university education.

There are far more people going to uni these days than there were in my time.

All of this bleating about how bad it is for young people now is pathetic. A uni education is not even important any more for most careers. I have done pretty well for myself without one.
Are you implying they choose to stay on a salary below the threshold because of the "marginal rate of tax" of 9%?
