No you are not alone Oz...but since the commencement of student loans instead of grants there is now an economic factor to further education (and this applies to all further education not just degrees as it shouldn't be forgotten that many folk studying for professional or vocational qualifications are also subject to this invidious system).. There are early signs that the LibCONS are softening us up for all student loans to be repaid irrespective of salary levels. Imagine what difference that will make to already low archaeological wage levels....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
