Well, to be fair, the proviso can be 30 points of 40 for 2 semesters, if you tell the agency beforehand. And the application thing doesn't apply for those on special programmes (law, medicine, engineers, economics, teachers etc), which as of September last includes me, hooray (translation). And there is the option of loans, which of course often are left to linger and leech of the tax payers as this is Sweden we're talking about. And the Socialists don't want people to educate themselves, as that would make them realise the inherent injustices of the system, so they're doing everything to sabotage the universities and higher institutions e.g. move the National Heritage Board (http://www.raa.se/about/index.asp) from Stockholm to the small island of Gotland, which is dead during the winter, so that the qualified personnel will quit. Because competence is not valued here, as that would be denigrating to the morons who don't mind not even trying to find work. Because jobs *are* available here. 20% of the grownups live on the taxpayers, and not all of those are incapacitated or unwanted. I don't mind paying taxes for welfare or health reasons, but I do mind paying for those who abuse the system, as I pay quite a lot. And I don't even work yet./rant
