I did the same thing but with socks in my pants

That we don't provide free university education in this country? I agree!

I'm interested to know what the 700k is.

200k wouldn't be that hard I guess, medical degree, person maybe gets a disability or mental illness and can't work + decade or two of indexation...

I’ve run into a handful of people in my life who are fully qualified as doctors and lawyers. Seems to be the done thing along a certain class of talented but masochistic weirdos. I guess that would get you at least more than half way to $700k.

Uni of Melbourne medical degree is $366k at the moment so I imagine someone doing a double degree in Medicine and Commerce, or Medicine and Law, plus probably a specialist post grad course would be pushing $700k

Yeah some specialists don't complete their studies untill they are pushing 40 years of age.

 

[DaTBird187]

It could be some douche doing 20 consecutive Arts degrees.

 

[Pappagallo]

It must be a historical debt that’s never been repaid and then indexed for 25 years. From memory there were no limits back in the day but now you can only get HECS support up to a certain amount of both dollars and years (full time equivalent). No way they’re handing out $300K to anyone these days let alone $700K.

My son just started Law at Flinders this year
That's around $15k per year for 4 years

$700k seems excessive

 

[Doctor Feel]

Medical degrees are expensive, anywhere from about 200k. Usually 7-10 years. Thing is though, once they finish their registrar stint it's onto 400k+ a year lol. Mate of mine paid his HECS off by age 34 or thereabouts. Think he was licensed practitioner at about 27 odd.

All degrees are not equal, really. It's all about the end state. If you are paying 40k for an arts degree for example - you aint ever paying that off with your potential earnings lol.

 

[Power Girl]

And you get a discount if you pay upfront. So that rewards the rich. My eldest is doing engineering at Adelaide and it is $15,000 a year upfront for 4 years. I don't know what you would end up paying with a HECS debt. Now he has decided to do 2 degrees and going part time on engineering. So I have stopped paying upfront. He is not earning real money until he is old at this rate.

Not true, most 'entrepreneurs' and many CEO's etc. do liberal arts degrees, and those working in STEM (for example) work FOR people instead.

HBO, Starbucks, Disney CEOs were once disgruntled liberal arts majors, too

Bit of an exception to the rule though

My daughter also started law at flinders this year.

Not really, most politicians and leaders do too.

The exception would be a scientist or engineer in a broad leadership role, their job is to do the science and engineering.

I think I paid $300 for my TAFE course

Yeah vitually all those people's success has feck all to do with their arts degrees.

 

[bomberclifford]

I've got a Degree in Colouring In.

lol, that reminds me of this thing my mate at work gave me when I worked for state gov. This is a real thing which allows employers to pay below the award rate lol.

I've been in a chocolate semi-coma since sunday

 

[Doctor Feel]

I've just realised I haven't had one piece of chocolate over easter. We sort of forgot to get any real chocolate because the boy is only a year old and we didn't want to introduce him to choccies just yet lol.

 

[JimmyBC]

Better off buying easter eggs & shit now Coles 'n the cheapo shops are throwing em' out just about.
