Welcome to the programme. This week, we sent a millionaire businessman

0:00:070:00:11

to find out the value of a university degree in the current

0:00:110:00:17

economic climate. Terry George are left school with no qualifications

0:00:170:00:23

asks a group of students what they all think? And I can tell you, my

0:00:230:00:28

neighbours and I never thought about going to university. Also

0:00:280:00:38
0:00:380:00:41

tonight, beat the fees. Financial - - a financial guru has advice and

0:00:410:00:48

how to beat the fees. You can end up not having to pay back a penny.

0:00:480:00:53

And campaign for people that like food, in the age of austerity,

0:00:530:01:03
0:01:030:01:12

campsite cooking and a gourmet Terry George is a millionaire

0:01:120:01:17

businessman who is living the dream. A swimming pool, a mansion, a

0:01:170:01:22

fantastic lifestyle. He achieved all of this despite leaving school

0:01:220:01:27

at 16 without any qualifications. What does he think is the value of

0:01:270:01:32

a university education in this day and age? Hallow, guys, just

0:01:320:01:37

checking out what is going on. is student night at one of my

0:01:370:01:42

venues and it's going to be packed. Can we push them to the other side?

0:01:420:01:49

And made my money out of property, telecoms, bars and clubs. What time

0:01:490:01:57

to reopen until tonight? 6 A I am. These students are my customers,

0:01:570:02:02

there are over a 1,000 people here, and I am the only one that has not

0:02:020:02:06

been to university. It might not look like it, but being a student

0:02:060:02:11

is not just about having a good time. Most of the students are

0:02:110:02:17

hoping to get good jobs. It was different for me when I this

0:02:170:02:22

growing up in Leeds. I got nothing from education. I have never pass

0:02:220:02:27

an exam in my life, apart from my driving test. It is unusual coming

0:02:270:02:32

back to my street where I grew wop. All of the neighbours, I can tell

0:02:320:02:36

you that none of them, including myself, thought about going to

0:02:360:02:40

university. We were thinking about paying higher bills, keeping the

0:02:400:02:48

electricity on, paying for food. It is so different these days. This is

0:02:480:02:52

my old house. Sometimes my parents struggled to feed us. When times

0:02:520:02:57

were tough, we did the best we could. Just down the road, I went

0:02:570:03:01

to school. It has been pulled down now. I spent most of my time here

0:03:010:03:06

at the back of the class until I was old enough to go. I left at 16

0:03:060:03:11

with no qualifications. I thought it was time to go into the big bad

0:03:110:03:17

world and make some money. These days, some students seem to spend

0:03:170:03:22

as much time protesting about money as they do studying. University is

0:03:220:03:26

getting more and more expensive. Students will have to pay tuition

0:03:260:03:31

fees of up to �9,000 a year. Some people are wandering is it still

0:03:310:03:40

worth going to university? -- wanderings. This is Savell Sol, it

0:03:400:03:46

used to be a mining town, but the pits closed many years ago. Like me,

0:03:460:03:50

lots of the kids here never thought about going to university. I am

0:03:500:03:55

meeting some sixth-formers from a local school and I want to know how

0:03:550:03:58

they feel about getting a degree. And many have you had your parents

0:03:580:04:06

could University? These parents do not want to following their parents

0:04:060:04:11

footsteps. -- the students. mother works hard in a factory, but

0:04:110:04:15

I don't think that she gets the rewards that she wants. I want

0:04:150:04:20

those rewards. I feel sorry for people that cannot get any higher.

0:04:200:04:25

They have to work as a factory workers for the rest of their lives.

0:04:260:04:27

Some people leave college and university because they think

0:04:270:04:31

getting a factory job is better because you get money straight away,

0:04:310:04:35

but nobody will want to stay in a factory for the rest of your life.

0:04:350:04:40

You want a good university to do something good. My parents would

0:04:400:04:44

have wanted to do something else. With the university fees put you

0:04:440:04:49

off? Do you have plans to get around that? I have to consider it,

0:04:490:04:55

because my cause is seven years, and it reaches �150,000. What do

0:04:550:05:01

you want to do? I want to be an actor. Nowadays, nearly half of all

0:05:010:05:05

teenagers good university. I spent my life wondering what would happen

0:05:050:05:11

if I had gone? A lot of people say, why go to university, you were very

0:05:110:05:15

successful. That is true, but died surrounded myself with people that

0:05:150:05:21

had been to university, people with degrees. -- eyes surrounded myself.

0:05:210:05:25

But universities are not everything. Some people opt out of student life

0:05:250:05:30

and go straight to work. I have come to a law firm in Leeds to meet

0:05:300:05:34

some people that it realise you do not have to be a graduate to get a

0:05:340:05:42

job peer. This law firm takes on school leavers as apprentices.

0:05:420:05:47

not guaranteed a job after university, but after an

0:05:470:05:51

apprenticeship I am guaranteed a job. It looked like you were going

0:05:510:05:55

to good university be changed to a mind at the last minute, jazzman?

0:05:550:06:01

This was not the first opportunity, if university was freed or heavily

0:06:010:06:05

subsidised, I would have gone straight to university. But you

0:06:050:06:11

have to get up and dress smart and good to work, whereas your friends

0:06:110:06:16

can wear what they want and they go to university. How do you feel?

0:06:170:06:21

feel different when I get my pay cheque on the 20th of the month and

0:06:210:06:27

they have to pay their student loan. Universities are big business. They

0:06:270:06:32

say they are offering customers and attract a product. The main thing

0:06:320:06:36

they get when they come to university is alive opportunity.

0:06:360:06:42

This is a complete the life changing events. You leave here

0:06:420:06:47

with a fantastic skill set and you will end up in a job, hopefully,

0:06:470:06:50

three will enjoy yourself for the rest of your life, and would

0:06:500:06:55

probably be paid more as well. Student fees are going up, but the

0:06:550:07:00

vice chancellor doesn't do too badly. Last year he earned a salary

0:07:000:07:06

and benefits of �319,000. Nationally, I run the second

0:07:060:07:11

biggest university in the country. I think I received the 20th highest

0:07:110:07:18

salary. So, I have had no, at my own volition, I have had no pay

0:07:180:07:22

increase for the last three years. So you have paid your money, you

0:07:220:07:26

have your degree, you would expect to walk into a good job. But we

0:07:260:07:33

you? Paula Nice and Hannah Dickinson got good degrees from

0:07:330:07:37

Leeds University. Paula got a first and Hannah got a 2.1, but they

0:07:370:07:42

cannot find a good job. We have to dramatically lower expectations and

0:07:420:07:49

I signed up with a job based in see recently and said I was hoping for

0:07:490:07:53

�15,000 up. -- a job agency recently. They said that people

0:07:530:07:57

with more experience than me are looking for more than that, and

0:07:570:08:02

that is fine, I'm not driven by money. It is just not me what we

0:08:020:08:06

expected. I am shocked, because I hear stories of people that a

0:08:060:08:12

graduated expecting to get �22,000, that is not what you're telling me.

0:08:120:08:21

I do not know where them jobs are! Be teenagers have high hopes. --

0:08:210:08:24

the teenagers. We're at Leeds Metropolitan University to have a

0:08:240:08:32

look around. I have got involved at Leeds Metropolitan University with

0:08:320:08:36

schoolkids from all backgrounds, because we want them to think about

0:08:360:08:41

going to university. I spoke to the student union president. The new

0:08:410:08:46

generation will have to pay fees, would that put you off? It would be

0:08:460:08:50

something I would consider, but I do not think it should put you off,

0:08:500:08:54

because coming to university, you will learn something priceless.

0:08:540:08:58

Even if it is 20 grand a year, I'd still do it, just with the

0:08:580:09:01

experience of meeting different people, understanding different

0:09:010:09:06

cultures, learning will you are. That is something that is really

0:09:060:09:11

important overall of the fees. taking be teenagers around my home.

0:09:110:09:16

This is what I have worked for. 30 years ago, I never dreamt I would

0:09:160:09:22

live somewhere like this. Did you bring a swimming costume?

0:09:220:09:29

You're not skinny dipping! My Won Joon to go to university, do very

0:09:290:09:35

well and, to buy this house from me. -- I wanted to go to university. As

0:09:350:09:41

anyone had a change of heart? Who still wants to go to university?

0:09:410:09:44

don't want to be a teacher any more, because I will not earn enough, I

0:09:440:09:49

could not build a life like this. As this puts you off? It has put me

0:09:490:09:55

off, I will do something else. sure all of these kids will have a

0:09:550:09:58

brighter future, one of them is unsure about university, but all of

0:09:580:10:02

the rest of them are going ahead and I agree with them.

0:10:020:10:06

I have learned that university is not for everyone, and yes, the

0:10:060:10:10

university fees are going up, but you cannot put a price on education.

0:10:100:10:14

There is more to it than just the university fees, there is the

0:10:140:10:18

aspect of meeting new people, the opportunity to open new doors.

0:10:180:10:23

Despite my success, looking back, I would definitely have gone to

0:10:230:10:33
0:10:330:10:34

Coming up on Inside Out, gourmet camping. We meet the man putting

0:10:340:10:44
0:10:440:10:48

the glamour into cooking under A survey commissioned by BBC

0:10:480:10:50

insiders suggest that the vast majority of A-level students have

0:10:500:10:55

not been put off the idea of going to university by next year's hike

0:10:550:10:58

in tuition fees. Some are considering going abroad as a

0:10:580:11:03

cheaper option. We ask a financial guru to see if there is a way to

0:11:030:11:10

beat the fees. Young, confused and afraid. This is

0:11:100:11:15

what thousands of teenagers across England field. A lifetime on the

0:11:150:11:25
0:11:250:11:26

run. What is chasing them? Student debt. But is it really going to be

0:11:260:11:30

the horror movie that we have been led to believe? Whether to think

0:11:300:11:35

next year's hake in fees is fair enough, it is happening. Young

0:11:350:11:39

people in need to know the facts. I am going to show you what a degree

0:11:390:11:44

can really cost, and how you can avoid those fees altogether. Next

0:11:440:11:49

year, English universities will charge up to �9,000 paired here,

0:11:490:11:55

with living costs on top, graduates can face debts of up to �50,000.

0:11:550:12:00

How much will be actually end up paying back? I have come to meet

0:12:000:12:05

some sixth formers in Birmingham to show them. I think the number will

0:12:050:12:09

shock them. I think that earning interest over such a long time as

0:12:090:12:13

you are paying back that don't really is a number that most people

0:12:130:12:18

do not think about. Let's imagine that you graduate from university

0:12:180:12:23

with first -- with �50,000 in debt. You get a high-paying job like we

0:12:230:12:28

expect to cut you will get. How much of that money do you have to

0:12:280:12:34

pay back? I am not quite sure, but is it all that? You have to pay

0:12:340:12:44

back all of it and more. All, interest. Her interest. -- Cole,

0:12:440:12:54
0:12:540:12:57

interest. �75,000. Is that just for one person? Is that for an average

0:12:570:13:04

the three-year degree? Yes, if you take out the maximum loan.

0:13:040:13:08

But what if their careers do not go as planned and they never earned

0:13:080:13:14

more than �21,000 pair year? The image you have to pay back is easy

0:13:140:13:24
0:13:240:13:25

goal. So what is going on? -- the amount you have to pay back a zero.

0:13:250:13:30

The more you earn, the more you pay back. If you never earned more than

0:13:300:13:35

a certain amount, then you never pay back a penny. The new

0:13:350:13:40

independent tax for -- independent task force on student debt is led

0:13:400:13:49

by Martyn Lewis. These fees, compared with the actual cost are a

0:13:490:13:53

very different type of system. Many people will not come close to

0:13:530:13:56

paying in full what they have borrowed. Some will not pay

0:13:560:14:01

anything at all. The bewildering fact that we are putting people off

0:14:010:14:04

pretty -- putting people off going to university because they are

0:14:040:14:09

looking at the price tag is a shocking. Most graduates will face

0:14:090:14:14

of this debt. Is there any way of avoiding the fees? Yes, you can

0:14:140:14:19

study abroad. At the recent student World Fair in London, teenagers

0:14:190:14:24

discovered just how much they can save. I think everyone would rather

0:14:240:14:30

go to university when they are paying �8,000 cheaper. As the fees

0:14:300:14:37

are cheaper, that is more attractive. In fact, dozens of

0:14:370:14:40

universities across Europe are offering courses taught in English.

0:14:400:14:44

The fees differ from country to country, but in Scandinavia,

0:14:440:14:51

tuition is free. In Denmark, we have no tuition fees at all. The

0:14:510:14:56

Danish government fees for Danish students are free, so according to

0:14:560:15:03

EU rules, we must treat other he's you students alike. This girl has

0:15:030:15:10

taken the plunge and is off to uni in Slovakia. I have my flight, this

0:15:100:15:16

is my hand luggage. She saved a fortune on living costs, paying

0:15:160:15:20

just �100 per month. What would be the piece of advice

0:15:200:15:23

that he would give to anyone considering doing what you are

0:15:230:15:28

doing? I think if you are even considering it, you should go for

0:15:280:15:34

it. It is worth doing. Does get on a plane. You need to be a but

0:15:340:15:39

praise for the plane journey over, but I have never looked back. --

0:15:390:15:47

you need to be a bit of praise for the plane journey. Time is up. I

0:15:470:15:53

want my money. I want by 50 grand. Studying overseas may be one way to

0:15:530:16:00

avoid the debt. But there are down side. If you study abroad, the

0:16:000:16:05

government here will not give you a loan. Only some of the courses are

0:16:050:16:09

taught in English, and some employers may not recognise foreign

0:16:090:16:14

degrees. So you need to do your homework. Another way of beating

0:16:140:16:19

the fees is to get someone else to pay. But who? London's financial

0:16:190:16:26

heartland is a good place to look. Do not be fooled by the power suits.

0:16:260:16:30

Believe it or not, these youngsters are all freshers. They are being

0:16:300:16:38

sponsored by accountancy giant KPMG. The entire package was a degree, a

0:16:380:16:43

salary, the tuition fees were paid and you where... A job at the end

0:16:430:16:48

and you were held to become a qualified and chartered accountant.

0:16:480:16:52

Did it sound too good to be true? That you suspect a catch some were?

0:16:530:16:56

There was not a cat and I do not think there is a catch. As with

0:16:560:17:03

everything in life, I do not -- you have to work hard. The man who runs

0:17:030:17:06

the programme tells me that KPMG does not offer the stereotypical

0:17:060:17:12

student experience. This is an extremely intensive programme. They

0:17:120:17:17

must walk from us, study for the Digby and attain their chartered

0:17:170:17:20

accountancy qualification in six years. That will acquire hard work

0:17:200:17:26

and that is all you really ask of them. Then there are bursaries.

0:17:260:17:30

Students from low-income families can get money from Derry us sources.

0:17:300:17:38

It is worth recalling the Web. -- it is worth looking on the Web. Is

0:17:380:17:48

there another way of avoiding the debt? You can pay up front. 16 you

0:17:480:17:51

also feel that Adams is try to do just that. As well as studying for

0:17:510:17:57

her A-levels, she sells beauty products on her bedside. I started

0:17:570:18:01

my bed -- started by business because I wanted to save for

0:18:010:18:06

university. My parents said that with the high price of university

0:18:060:18:10

fees, it would be too much for them. And try to avoid getting into debt,

0:18:100:18:14

because I know it takes a long while to get out of debt and I do

0:18:140:18:18

not want to be in that place. Government allows students to pay

0:18:180:18:24

up front, but most will have to to get a loan. One financial expert

0:18:240:18:27

believes that graduates could end up paying back far more than anyone

0:18:270:18:33

has predicted. Financial -- is financial

0:18:330:18:38

journalist is warning students to beware. The problem is that the

0:18:380:18:43

deal is not a deal. There are all of these numbers flying about,

0:18:430:18:47

saying that you will be charged a certain rate of interest on the

0:18:470:18:51

loan and sure payments will start at �21,000. Over that you are

0:18:510:18:55

paying a certain percentage. None of those calamities or in the

0:18:550:18:59

contract that Eastern signs of four. The Government can change those

0:18:590:19:04

numbers as it wants to in five years' time, ten years' time or 30

0:19:040:19:09

years' time. Students could end up paying a lot more. Any big changes

0:19:090:19:15

would have to be approved by Parliament. Like many Americans, I

0:19:150:19:18

graduated with the equivalent of tens of thousands of pounds worth

0:19:180:19:23

of debt. It was daunting. If you know the facts, student debt does

0:19:230:19:33
0:19:330:19:38

not have to be scary. I confronted it, and so can you.

0:19:380:19:43

It may not be everyone's idea of fun, but spending holidays under

0:19:430:19:47

canvas can -- is becoming increasingly popular, especially in

0:19:470:19:50

these cash-strapped times. The only problem with camping in this

0:19:500:19:54

country, other than the weather, is the food. If you do not like

0:19:540:19:58

banners and beans, be have been to meet someone who might be able to

0:19:580:20:08
0:20:080:20:08

help. -- bangers and beans. We have come to the campsite at had

0:20:080:20:12

his farm in Robin Hood Bay near Whitby, I could win one of the most

0:20:120:20:20

spectacular locations you will find anywhere. What is great about

0:20:200:20:23

camping at the site and the smells and the fact that you are that much

0:20:240:20:31

closer to nature. What is not always so good is the food. Entered

Josh Sutton, also known as the guy rope Gourmet, a man whose passion

0:20:360:20:42

in life is to bring top-quality there may cuisine to the campsite.

0:20:420:20:45

Traditional can save food has always been banners and beans and

0:20:450:20:50

things in towns and processed food. I have been eating that for years.

0:20:500:21:00
0:21:000:21:00

I am fed up with it. Good to see you. Good to see you. Shall we get

0:21:000:21:06

the tented? Just spend as many weekends as possible under the

0:21:060:21:09

canvas as possible. He believes that with planning and organisation,

0:21:090:21:14

and gourmet food is within reach. Over the next few days, people put

0:21:140:21:19

that theory to the test. I am trying to encourage people to try

0:21:190:21:23

something a little bit different. I have a website with a collection of

0:21:240:21:27

30 or 40 recipes. Some are simple salads, others are a little more

0:21:270:21:34

complicated. I just want people to try it. I believe there is a guy

0:21:340:21:40

rope gourmet and everyone. Judges providing both the food and the

0:21:400:21:45

entertainment, all with just two gas rings, a couple of pans and the

0:21:450:21:55
0:21:550:21:57

ukulele. The pilot is cooked! should walk round their tents and

0:21:570:22:04

see what they are eating. Yeah, what I treating? Simple for now,

0:22:040:22:07

but tomorrow we are setting a challenge that will test him to the

0:22:070:22:15

limit. Campaign has been around for years, but as she sticks -- but has

0:22:150:22:20

recently experienced an explosion in popularity. What was once the

0:22:200:22:24

preserve of hardy outdoor types is now a staple of the great British a

0:22:240:22:29

stay-cation. Over a million people went camping last year, and so tend

0:22:290:22:31

technology may have moved on, the cuisine has largely been left

0:22:320:22:37

behind. Day two, and it is a blustery but

0:22:370:22:44

bright day at Robin Hood's Bay. Morning, Jamie. After a breakfast

0:22:440:22:48

of scrambled egg and smoked salmon, it is time to get down to business.

0:22:480:22:54

Today, we are going to be Josh's theory to the test. We will send

0:22:540:22:56

him out to find local ingredients and then knock up a feast that is

0:22:560:23:01

fit for a king. We have given him a limited budget

0:23:010:23:04

and stipulated that everyone must be pot within five miles of the

0:23:040:23:12

campsite. Are you happy with what you are doing? Very much so.

0:23:120:23:18

said the PM then. We have not so when the menu tonight, I'm heading

0:23:180:23:23

out to find a fresh lobster. The tightest has come up, so I am just

0:23:230:23:30

looking for a chat on a boat with fresh lobsters to score overnight.

0:23:300:23:35

Let's have a look at those. I am looking for a nice size lobster,

0:23:350:23:40

bearing in mind the pot I have. That fellow is a contender, and

0:23:400:23:44

that one there. This one looks like a male, with a slightly bigger

0:23:440:23:51

cloth. Well, we have some lovely lobsters and will cut them up with

0:23:510:24:00

some linguini and tomato sauce. -- with a slightly bigger coal.

0:24:000:24:04

We are heading off into Whitby to pick up a couple of scalps, which I

0:24:040:24:10

will take back to the campsite, a rat and a couple of bits of Padgett

0:24:100:24:17

and pop them on a skewer. -- to pick up a couple of scallops.

0:24:170:24:20

We are going to a great little fish shop here on the right hand side,

0:24:200:24:25

it has an amazing window display. He would not want to get your legs

0:24:250:24:29

stuck in there, which you! I am looking for some scallops if they

0:24:290:24:36

have any. I will have half a dozen, please. Meanwhile, back in the

0:24:360:24:42

campsite, I am organising little surprise for Josh. OK, I'll see you

0:24:420:24:46

around three. Bearing in mind that my taste buds are not exactly that

0:24:460:24:49

culture, and decided to bring in a judge who is a little bit more

0:24:490:24:55

discerning. My neighbours rob Green, and die and the National seafood

0:24:550:25:01

chef of the year. I think that seafood should be fresh, locally

0:25:010:25:08

sourced and not messed about with too much. I will be hard but fair.

0:25:080:25:11

Back at the campsite, Josh has started ticking, but the weather

0:25:120:25:18

has taken a turn for the worst. classic camping fashion, be have

0:25:180:25:21

added dramatic weather changed. The heavens are about to open up on us.

0:25:210:25:26

It is time to say goodbye to these boys. They are still alive and

0:25:260:25:31

kicking. Beautiful chaps, these two losses are going to feed three of

0:25:310:25:35

us. And like to say thanks to the losses for giving up their lives,

0:25:350:25:39

and damned which goal and dispatch them. But then, the when -- the

0:25:390:25:46

weather went from bad to ridiculous. Is that normal, Josh? Know, that is

0:25:460:25:51

not normal. We have a slight problem with the wind at the moment.

0:25:510:25:55

It is knocking the tent absolutely flat. Take a look over there, you

0:25:550:25:58

might be able to see a huge crate back of rain which is coming

0:25:580:26:05

straight for us. Will you be able to carry on cooking? I will move

0:26:050:26:08

into the 10th, when I am out of the wind it will not pull the flames

0:26:080:26:16

out. -- into the tent. Joshua Lumley has around 30 minutes before

0:26:160:26:22

a judge is due to live -- due to arrive. Well and truly cooked

0:26:220:26:28

delicious. That is little later as onions, garlic and sacks or take

0:26:280:26:38
0:26:380:26:40

large plum tomatoes. These, just boiled in sea water for 15 minutes.

0:26:400:26:44

At 3pm, Rob Green arrives at the campsite, despite the appalling

0:26:440:26:53

conditions earlier, Josh is ready to serve up. We have a starter of

0:26:530:26:57

school wrapped in an Cheka. Add a little of linguini with lobster and

0:26:570:27:07
0:27:070:27:08

tomato sauce. Excellent. I hope you enjoy it. Could to perfection,

0:27:080:27:17

lovely. Abul tried the lot lop -- I will try the lobster. I can still

0:27:170:27:21

pays the lobster through the source. There are some really nice, and

0:27:210:27:26

zany and lemon going on there as well. A simple dish, but absolutely

0:27:260:27:30

Fabulous. If I was camping and I was served this it would be over

0:27:300:27:38

the moon. These are restaurant quality dishes. An absolute genius

0:27:380:27:42

on the camping equipment that we have there. He will have to excuse

0:27:420:27:47

me, I am good to have another that. How do you feel? You have been

0:27:470:27:51

given the thumbs-up by the seafood chef of the year. I cannot get over

0:27:510:27:57

it. There was a couple of bits of lemon zest in there, a couple of

0:27:570:28:00

the simple things like that. I cannot believe it, I feel like

0:28:000:28:07

going off and doing little dance. There you go, camping cuisine par

0:28:070:28:11

excellence. The best use is, there has only around the hours until

0:28:110:28:18

dinner. If you want to contact us, you can
