Congrats to the A Level success stories

The newspapers are full of photos of elated (or occasionally upset) teenagers who have just learnt their A Level results.  To all of those young people, I say congratulations.  Now try finding a job.

Of course many of them do not dream of a job right now.  Many of them plan to start debt factory university in the next few weeks.  I remember a couple of years back reading in a newspaper about a young lad who was living in a bedsit in London while struggling to subsist in a low-paid job.  He was a medical school dropout.  He was probably over the moon the day he landed a place in medical school, but debts drove him out and into a life of poverty.

Nevertheless many young people make it through university, and they do not all rack up huge levels of debt, and some of them actually manage to find work after they graduate.
