This Deserves A Double Facepalm...

"Here’s a maths problem for you.
Adam borrowed £44,000 to go to university and has paid back £7,000 since graduating four years ago. How much does he owe? The answer is £54,000. That's because he is one of thousands of graduates in England and Wales who took out a type of student loan between 2012 and 2023 on which interest rates hit a record of nearly 8% earlier this year."
What sort of graduate is going to be taken by surprise over having to pay interest on a loan?
"Adam, 26, studied in London for a BSc in economics..."

The kicker?

He now works in finance in the capital...
