We're all Normal... ?
We're all Normal... ?
Gidday money grubbers,
Observing the fuss over the last week or so concerning Bursaries inspires me to stir up a few thoughts. There are three types of full time STB students:
(1) | Mr & Ms Well Off. Have STB plus Daddy's money. Own brand new Datsun and have all mod cons. |
(2) | Mr & Ms Normal. Have STB plus holiday earnings. Lead decent life and sometimes have a few bucks to spare. |
(3) | Mr & Ms Poor. Have STB only. These people are to be pitied. |
So there it is for STB. 90% of people who try can be Mr or Ms Normal. Those who couldn't find jobs these holidays, did you really try? I don't mean sitting on your butt getting the dole but actually harrassing employers.
Interesting facts and facets:
Ever noticed how many students: go skiing own cars own motorbikes have expensive new clothes drink untold piss.
Lets face it — most of you could pull your belts in. However nobody's perfect, (neither STB nor students) Some people need help — Mr & Ms Poor with expensive courses, holiday unemployment so are You being greedy?
