After many months of hard work I have come to an, albeit rather delayed, realisation - the young are forever being punished for working hard and trying to create a better future for themselves. Mounting student debts, a lack of jobs and ridiculously high house prices makes it impossible for many to get started in adult life. We are all encouraged to go to University and earn degrees so that we have a specialism, an area of expertise, but where does that get us? Many of us leave with stupidly high debts and no job to go to - especially not the job that we are qualified to do. This results in low morale, eventually discouraging us from attempting to get work at all. How has it come to this?
Unless mom and dad have a spare few thousands pounds to give away getting on the property ladder is virtual impossible. So it's the same old story: the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Bitterness is not intended here, I congratulate parents who are able to afford to help their child/children out in such a way, but shouldn't we all get a fair crack at the whip? Shouldn't their be options available to everybody, regardless of their financial circumstance - an I don't include the dole/benefits as an answer. Why do we have put 25% deposits down on houses? Two years ago this wasn't the case. Maybe we'll forever be stuck in a down-beat, financially unstable rut.
