Georgie Pryce-Greene always thought she’d go to university. Instead, the 23-year-old from south-east London has deferred her place. She is now living at home and working as a content creator. “I reckon I feel burnt out every couple of weeks,” she says. “It’s a multitude of things but I notice that I start missing deadlines or forgetting stuff and feeling overwhelmed. I wanted to have that uni experience but in reality it was just 30 people on a Zoom lecture getting eye strain and paying nine grand for the privilege. I couldn’t afford to go back to studying now anyway. I think about money almost constantly and I can’t plan for the future.”
