Saving for college??

I heard the budget person say that they were going to concentrate the money on education this year, yet they want to bring back student fees of like four grand or something crazy. If that does happen that means there is going to be no students, unless they have a spare four grand and its not like the banks are going to give it to us at the moment! Obviously some parents will pay these fees but its just completely contradicting what the budget person said! so if we cant go to college and then we cant get a job so then we have to go on the dole so at the end of the day we would be really costing the government money rather than pumping money back into the economy which is what they really are looking for. and then that makes the leaving cert completely pointless as well and there would be no reason to work for it if all the students are going to go on the Dole anyway, unless mummy and daddy are willing to pay.
