six years none the richer

gimme my money back, gimme my money back, you bitch. i want my money back ...

Slightly out of context, but so encapsulates my sentiments towards the higher education system.

I may have gotten to know myself (circa school's advertising slogan) a little better, formed a few abiding friendships, accumulated a heap of info unlikely to be useful even at trivia nights, and learnt some stuff too. But how much is any of that attributable to the System? Not to a degree (oh petty pun) commensurate with the size of the debt which shall follow me until menopause, surely.
