Students might moan about being in debt, but it doesn't seem to stop them taking a "year out" before finding a job to start paying it off.
According to the Guardian's Grad Facts survey, published tomorrow, the number of students planning to take time out after university to travel has actually risen - from 31% in 2006 to 42% this year.
And yet, 70% of respondents told our researchers they are worried about their debts, with 60% concerned they might never be able to buy their own home.
Are graduates right to risk extending their debt for the opportunities that travel provides? Or should they knuckle down and get a job?
