Huh?  ??????? This implies you're not in music.

Who was my time travelling counterpart?  Jmenz I think... I was wondering if this was some college payment scheme from decades ago when it was actually possible to pay for college while you were in college.

I don't know about PP (or how the hell he payed off his student loans, seeing as he seems quite young), but anyone who comes near my scores and tries to reorganize them for me is getting a steel toe somewhere they don't want it!

We come from the best country in the world (Australia) where it still isn't insane expensive to get higher education. Though unfortunately it's getting more expensive.

I'm 31... it took me 8 years to pay off my University fees... plus whilst I was doing that, I bought a grand piano, a car and saved up a 10% deposit for a home.

I WORKED FOR IT!!! How else do you think I paid off my loan, ya lazy bum...    ;D

Please tell me I'm not the only one who's capable of making a full time career and good pay from teaching piano???

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if I'm the last of the best generations, where it's possible to pay off your University loans, and pay for a house while you're still alive.

According to OECD the fees are not the highest in US but England and Japan.

It's just good to be from a "socialist" country I guess ;)

Must say though that higher education has suffered a bit of an inflation in the recent decades, but it's not because it's free, but because at some point it was decided that about 65% should get a higher degree (bachelors, masters or doctorate). And at the same time there simply weren't enough jobs that actually require high education, partly because the public sector has been constantly downsized. So now we have a fair amount of highly educated people who cannot find a job or work in something that could have been achieved with a lot less schooling. And at the same time employers in some fields have trouble finding people with good practical skills.

This may finally explain what drives me to move to the mythical Australia-land and complete my transformation to jmenz (odd that he disappeared during this time) -- Student loans, price of health insurance... and then add over-priced/under-powered internet service here... Plus, they've got Hobbits (close enough)....  *Bob ponders taking out a giant loan before skipping the country to avoid paying it off.*  Haha... That almost sounds like the new American way, unfortunately.

A giant island that's also a continent?  Come on.  That's a little farfetched, isn't it?  Poisonous ducks who are also mammals?  Hobbits and wizards? 

Some copyright pirate "goes away to New Zealand" or somewhere, never seen again?  I see what's going on there.  Ditto with prisoners long ago.  "Uh, sure... They're not here... because they were all sent to... Australia, yeah...." 

They didn't even invest much thought in the name.  Just pick a country off to the side and change the ending a bit.  Could have been Germania or Turkeyland.

A quick Google search will reveal the truth.  "Australia doesn't exist" gives lots of hits.  I didn't actually look at them, but there are a lot of hits.

I haven't seen Australia so it must not exist.  Kangaroos are probably some weird genetic experiment.  Imagine the effort put in for that though just to get people to believe a continent exists. 

And then they needed to get a bunch of people to say they're from there and insist it exists.  There must be some kind of payment scheme.... Health care, free college... Making more sense now, right?  I bet they're international students frequently too.  It's hard to go to college at a place that doesn't exist.

There's plenty of open spaces on the map in the southern hemisphere.... *Bob considers making a Bobland continent.*   Imagine the coordination that must have happened long ago for everyone to buy into this Austria-land idea.
