also if you work abroad for more than 6 months full time, like say, in australia, it gets wiped clean

I'm not sure where mine all went! Basically buying clothes, gadgets, computers, games and so on and so forth.
As Paul W has said, it's worth it if you get what you set out to acheive. In my final year and can actually see results in terms of employment. Really glad i took a year out too as i got the experience that i needed and they have kept me on  Also there is a module running next semester which will also widen my experience.

I dont think it does Paul, i've got friends who've been in USA for well over 6 months since coming out of Uni... you don't have to pay it after 25 years but if you come back to the UK in that time and earn over 15k the same rules apply.
