| 660741 | 2008-04-21 06:18:00 | I don't think they can use the size of a student loan as reason to need more pay. From what I understand the govt pays 74% of the fees in all university/medical courses. A lot more than the junior doctors have to payback. Bring back bonding I think. then the govt could work a deal with lesser loan payments or suchlike. I just wondered how many operations could be carried out for the reckoned $12M that the govt say the strike will cost. Ken |

| 660744 | 2008-04-21 07:17:00 | Excuse me if I am wrong but do not Doctors go through the education system and end up being a doctor. Once a doctor has qualified these days they may also have a student loan they may or may not pay off. For the record I have worked for my current employer for the last 13 years. In that time I have had a 4.5% pay increase on hourly rate. In my view I seem to going backward if you take into account inflation. But I also have to say that I never had a student loan that are now bigger than the two mortgages I ever had either. In fact I never had a student loan ever. I got 18% increase my 1st year, 5%, 2% 2% following years.....Maybe your boss is saying something to you? |

| 660745 | 2008-04-21 07:22:00 | Since when? There was a program on TV a week or so ago where this was stated. Can't remember when. My wife also remembers it as we both watched it I maybe should have written it better, but the university education total costs are certainly a lot higher than the amount charged for degrees. Ken |

| 660746 | 2008-04-21 08:08:00 | Correct Ken. The taxpayer still funds most of the cost of running our universities and polytechs. Student fees are generally about 25% of total course costs - still adds up to a lot of money in specialist courses like dentistry and medicine. However in terms of what junior doctors want paid - the loans are fairly irrelevant. What our health system is up against is much better wages in other countries. Why would you stay here? |
