"would you have been fully aware of the potential impact of a £30,000 - £40,000 debt?"
Yes. That's what I left with. Lots of my friends will never pay it off, I nearly have. Physics provided lots of career opportunities, English didn't. I was among the first year of "raised" tuition fees, so ~£3000 per year just to be enrolled. Now we're talking £9000 a year, so debt is more like £50000 to do my course. Would I still risk it? Not for History, not a chance.
Tuition fee and interest rate rises were introduced nearly 15 years ago, there's a lot of people wandering about with this debt, not just "the kids" - don't make the assumption that you're conversing with a peer.
