Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition because we aren't sure what action you would like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
If you feel you have been miss-sold a degree, you may wish to complain to the university you attended. This article sets out the rights students have as consumers:

The Office of the Independent Adjudicator can also consider complaints about universities in some circumstances:

You could start a new petition calling for the student loans of people who do not find a job within a set period of time to be cancelled if that is something you would like to see happen.
