Passage 1

Hard times

A Money worries are part and parcel of university life, but recent events in

the world of finance, not to mention rising food prices, are making it tougher

for students- from living costs as undergraduates to employment prospects

once they have graduated. But are they bothered?

B Raymond Sawyer, a graphic design undergraduate at New College

Durham, says he is concerned by the naivety of some of his fellow students

when dealing with their finances. “I’m surprised by the lack of maturity some

of them have when it comes to money,” he says. “We had been at college

watching banks and other financial services firms fall over has been

particularly disheartening for students who had planned to work in the

Square Mile(伦敦金融城). Reports suggest that many are now also

considering teaching as an option.
