I know quite a few, but I know quite a few hippy like people. Most worked though, like 7/8 months here then go to India for 4 months and live for peanuts all winter. I took a grand with me when I went to India, lasted me 2 months. When I was 19 I went off to Oz etc for 18 months but worked a lot, came home with about £4K saved which was enough to put a deposit down on a flat….
One big difference is the amount of debt most students rack up, back in 1990 ish most I knew had no real debts, some even had grants, not loans. Nowadays £50k is average isn’t it? That’s not a great way to start out is it…..
