And yet each year the company that I work for takes on half to a dozen engineering apprentices, who within 6 years of starting (so mid twenties) can (if they desire and work additional OT) afford to buy property.Its condescending to imply that "Back in my day, and what young'uns need is a kick up the back side". There's certainly an inter generational disconnect on this issue.
This isn't back in the day, this is here and now.
Nor is it specialist, as in plenty of other companies run similar apprenticeship schemes.
Life is all about choices.
We each decide what choices to take and what sacrifices to make.
No one persons choice is right or wrong, but as below.
Life's all about choices, but don't complain when those choices leave you with no option than to rent and work until you drop.
For what it's worth, it is more than possible to do a degree and finish that degree with no debt.
Various will sponsor a degree, but usually that attracts a return of service.
