@djsumdog@djsumdog.com @newman@noauthority.social Ya but it doesn't cost half a million to get a degree in Australia For citizens its like 30-40k with the government funded loan, maybe 60k if you do postgraduate studies. You pay the cost back to the government once you start earning over a certain income threshold. It is interest free but its also indexed against inflation or whatever so that the "true value" of the is maintained.
