Over here most parents don't pay for their kids university studies/ degree/ whatever. Every single person and know and I have had to deal with our 'HECS-HELP' loans ourselves, and when you're straight out of high school and don't have a lot of money, it's a HUGE debt, and so you work bloody hard in order to not fail subjects and waste more money, and so you can get a good job at the end of the degree and pay it off.
I too can't understand kids who just flit around at uni and fail subjects and stuff... do they realise how much money they're wasting away?
