I hope one day to be a sound engineer, doing free lance work around the country, or settling down into a school or a theatre to be a sound tech. I might even make songs on the side as a hobby, who knows. Alongside that, I would be a mixing and mastering engineer and using the money from everything to build a little home studio. That's kinda my dream atm. I hope I can one day have people come in and be recorded, and mix their music to be published, making some music myself as previously mentioned.

wut about your current job ;)

OT: I'm a waiter :D

No, it's been proven that poorer families and poorer areas do worse in the education system due to the schools having worse teachers, parents can't afford tutoring etc...

So yeah it's not their fault that they're in that position.

Not true though, it's not about having stuff handed to you sometimes people have to actually put the effort in and motivate themselves to be better. It's not societies fault they didn't do that.

Poverty can never be solved because of human nature. I'm not going to go into a debate with you because evidently you aren't ready to handle reality. Next time you lend money to a mate don't ask for it back because that's what you are advocating for.

Uhhm nah mate because when I lend money to a mate I don't put a crazy fuckin' interest rate on it so I do expect it back.
What these "pay-day loan" schemes do is put the highest interest rates out there, offering to people with terrible credit ratings already and when these people realise that they've screwed up; it's too late.

And I know this because I know someone who actually owns a pay-day loan business. It's dirty business.
Yeah, you are right poverty will never be solved but it can be reduced if we do something about it. And currently, in the UK that's not what's happening, is it?

They signed the paper. Sounds like this is being taken way out of proportion. Dude doesn’t pay and then his stuff is taken away. Why don’t they take the help they are offered instead of blaming it on poor education when they’re educated on the loan before they’re able to sign?

we talking UK, keep ur american stuff in the US <3

Dunno why you are acting like this is a new thing, interest rates have existed for many years and it's not like they are being sneaky about it. They do say the interest rates, the person taking the loan accepts that when they do. Can't blame the company for a consenting victim Wink
