If I loved medicine - I would look at the huge initial debt and the debt getting bigger with 7% interest - then the poor 38K salary and think:

Let some know immigrant enter this career who would probably get a grant thrown at them or a Scot who gets their training all nicely paid!

No wonder we have a shortage of doctors with patients dying on trollies! Then again - why would Sunak and his Non Dom care when they could get the finest treatment filthy money can buy!
Al they are paid more than experienced nurses, police, teachers etc.. and they can't make most decisions around patient care given that they are 23 and just out of medical school.

It's a cracking wage for year one. I have limited sympathy, they'll clear that student debt in no time with their future consultant salary.

As I said before, everyone has the right to strike and fight for an increase but don't believe the £14 per hour. Everyone deserves a pay rise at the minute.
