Surely you would know the salary scales and timelines in the field of employment you desire versus the cost of entry e.g. obtaining a PHD the loans required with the length of time to pay back. I certainly did and realised getting into the work place without further education minus debt was the way to go.

Have often thought that a simple tax of say 10% on everyone whether you earn 10,000 or 10 billion in salary or investments which requires just one form would create more government revenue with substantially less administrative costs.
