Wow, there's a lot of things you can screw up within a 24 hour period.

There were some right middle class nob jockeys on the train last night. I'm not an embittered jealous peasant, i'm pleased for people that've worked hard for their wealth, it was just the attitude these dudes had.
They were laughing at a girl they knew that was doing a PGCE to teach GCSE kids, saying how little she would get paid and the bit that annoyed me the most.. 'I would at least want to teach in a private school because they actually want to learn". Ohh, because every single kid in a normal comprehensive school doesn't want to learn, fuck off!
Also they were saying "I don't know why people bother going to universities that aren't at the top.. what's the point? [guffaw, guffaw] they come out with 12 grand of debt and have a useless degree!" Uhh, i'm sorry... we can't all get into Oxford, I have the brains - I just don't have a ton of dosh and loads of extra-curricular activities to my name because my parents couldn't afford them. Whoops, my degree's going to be worthless!
Then it was more guffawing, and one of them said "They'll be paying that debt off for the rest of their lives but when i'm qualified I'll be able to pay it off in 6 months and afford a car and a deposit on a house!"
go die.
