Advantages: Allows sucess.

Disadvantages: Costs lots.

I've found this to be a doubled edged sword, as i would very much like to take higher education and get a degree, but recently i have found that uni's are "blacklisting subjects" meaning that some subjects are pointless in taking and they look down of pupils with a-levels or GCSE's in those blacklisted subjects, this came as great dissappointment to me, as i'm soon to be finising my A-levels and i am looking to uni, however i have now found that half my a levels are blacklisted and the subject i wished ot take is also blacklisted, the subject im talking of is law, i had thought law would be a great subject to take, yet apparently not, however i cannot complain as a few years ago i would not have even had the chance ot go to uni, as higher education isn't free for all. Because of my recent family dispute and the fact that i live in a low income houysehold and area the idea of uni seemed absurd, but thankfully for me the govenrment finally came up trumps and created ways for my to get to uni, however at that end om my uni life, i will be left with large debt not only to the uni (fees and so on) bu to the taxpayer who will be funding my trip via burisries and grants, so in that respect it still isnt free for all, i have been lucky enough to be blessed with good friends and family although none of my family ever went to uni they appriciate the need for it if i wish to suceed. My uni experience will at first be largely funded by the taxpayer but!! i will pay it all pack and hopefully becasue of my education be able ot get a jpb in which i can serve the poeple more. With out this chance of higher eductaion i coulod slip into the depraved world of chavs and dead end life, but i thank you the taxpayer in advcance for allowing me this oppourtunity, and maybe if more young people could get there faith back in the education system there would be less youth crime and violence, a road i may have been led down without this chance.

Summary: The only chance i have.
