There never has been, nor never will be, free education in this country. Whether your education has been private or public I and every other tax payer have paid for it. And if you have accrued a HECS debt at uni - your education has still been subsidised by the tax payer.
As someone who has contributed to your education I expect you to give something back to the community. That means, if you are able to, get a job. It also means if that education has given you opportunites that others haven't had and you now find yourself earning an income that may be the envy of others you recognise that not everyone has had your opportunity, or that they have made their equally, if not more, valuble contribution to the welfare of our community in ways that have not brought them the same financial reward. So don't complain if you are asked to make a contribution above what you may or may not give through your employment.
