Except that since the UK introduced "top-up fees", it is increasingly likely (and necessary) for British students to work at least part-time while they study.

Denmark is peculiar in that there is (or used to be, last I knew) substantial state support for students, but people still chose to work, travel and generally do all kinds of other things on the side.

In Spain as far as I know it is extremely hard to work and study at the same time, neither side allowing for flexible schedules.

Anyway, the point is, if you're a full-time student you're "dependent". Who's picking up the tab?

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
