I went this route after taking 1 year of loans. It took 10 years of defaulting and seized tax refunds to pay it off. Getting paid to study beats being a starving student and paying to study any day, any subject. Get cert, use it as a safety net, do anything you want: business ventures, self-employed projects, more school.... anything you want. Run out of money? Back to work with your cert or trade qualification. Simple. Easy. Why don't they teach this concept in school? Because then colleges and universities would go bankrupt.

I've had quite a few jolts from 240 volt mains from one hand to the other. Explain why I'm not dead.

Shocks affect different people differently. Some people can handle this. Some can't. It is enough to grab you and not let you go. That usually means your hand has to be grasping live metal for you to "not let go" Like the darwin awards, low voltage (below 2400) shocks are only fatal if they get you for long enough to damage the heart. A quick jolt here and there does very little.
