See, and then _you_ do have the prospect of increasing salary until you
retire. For the traindrivers it is these 30k throughout their
workinglife - apart from paydeals their unions worked out.



Still 50% above the average wage of the country.


But well within average of the profession of traindrivers so what's the
point? That everyone should only get paid the national average unless
they attended university? That everyone should only get paid a fixed
salary, irrelevant what or how hard they work (or at all when at work),
welcome to the already failed communist system.
I then propose that everyone should only get paid one quid a month and
try to cope with life and existing prices. I hope you understand how
ridiculous that would be, as is the continuous whining about LU's driver
salary.

Not to forget that some people simply don't have the chance of attending
uni.


Pretty much everyone has the choice nowadays. Too many really, the country
needs more vocational training.


Please do prove that to me. I doubt everyone can afford fees for uni.
