A report by BMJ shockingly reveals one in ten medical students are becoming sex workers to finance increased tuition fees. With annual costs rising as high as £9, 000 a year, and debts totalling up to £70K, trainee doctors are forced to seek alternative ways to get paid - and it's all in in aid of clearing uni debt. As a result of this, there's been a surge in med students working at pole dancing, strip and lap dancing clubs. Over 25% of med students say they know somebody who has sought sex work to cover uni fees - that's an awful lot of students juggling university and night work! The findings prove that the government's decision to increase tuition fees is not only disadvantages those from less fortunate backgrounds - but also putting young female students at greater risk. We'd love to know: What do you do raise extra cash for university? Do you know anyone who has sold sex to pay their way? Do these stats seem shocking to you or are you not surprised?
