Should students have to pay more?

As an ex-student, I do not think so.
Having recently seen an article on the BBC, there have been calls from the CBI, claiming the ‘ inevitable’ rises will occur.
Now I easily survived and my peers have come out with over 20k worth of debt. Does the government wish to encourage a culture of debt amongst british society. By all means think of ways ot cut down the ever growing deficit, but dont burden students who wish to learn further.
There have been calls on having ‘free degrees’ where by students do not have to pay anything for their degrees for people who want to commute from home. This is all well and good, but you lose out on one thing, the student experience and immersing yourself in the changes that you will go through as a student.
University is about having a fantastic time, learning about your subject, people and ultimately yourself. I wish all new students a great fresher’s week and encourage government to think of a new alternative than taxing people who just wish to learn.
My experiences with Job Agencies
Posted by: Sahar Mirhadi on: August 19, 2009
My advice: Go with the specialist ones and use the high street ones online portal of jobs.
I would advise signing up to them as they do help you and do find things that you want to do.
Some of them, you will never hear from them and some will stick to you.
I do get the impression that some of them want to help you, but cant. Some, though just make false promises that they cannot keep. But that is life.
The job hunting experience
Posted by: Sahar Mirhadi on: August 19, 2009
I have learnt that persistence and spreading your net is the most important thing. When I became unemployed in july and moved back home; I had to look for a new job and went for lots and lots of interviews.
Well I did what most people do: look at the news and the bleak stats was initially quite daunting. But I was not going to let that stop me.
So I sent CV’s, lots of them and nothing was happening. Then I tweaked it and kept sending. I signed up to agencies, which I had a mix experience with (I’ll write about that in a bit).
I decided to then change my tactic and mix them all and take every opportunity going, online face2face and the phone.
I felt at times I was repeating myself and saying the same things to the same questions and yes it annoyed me. My only solace was, I knew I will get a job.
And it paid off.
it’s been a while

since I could hold my head up high. No, I am not going to quite a staind lyric at the blogosphere. That would just be painful. But it has been far too long.
Well the main piece of news is that I have graduated now and have now joined the rising army that is unemployment. Now I am not really sure how to look at it. I see things on the news about people never getting into work and just relying on handout, but also then people who actively use the services provided to get themselves back to work.
Now I am definitely in the latter category. I am using all tools to my disposal and so should everyone else.
Project Mashup Night
Posted by: Sahar Mirhadi on: June 13, 2009
Since May Bank Holiday Monday, I have been pondering the idea of why there are no real mashup nights in London. as there is a night for nearly every type of genre. This stemmed from chatting to a couple of people at university, who got me into mashup. I wanted to listen to it where it was accessible and everyone could appreciate it in london. I found only three nights in the near vicinity. So I have now embarked on a journey if you will. I want to set up a night in london, where I can bring mashup lovers together to appreciate good music and have a good night.
Now the big questions
Who?
Where?
When?
Money Costs?
These are all works in progress but I have been consulting producers in the UK and the prestigious bootie label in San Francisco to see if they are up for it (with great progress) so that gets me excited!
Watch this space.
