ISAs are also appealing to people pursuing degrees without an intent to become high earners, such as those looking to 'broaden their horizons' or 'earn their Mr./Mrs.'.


>'earn their Mr./Mrs.'.

The saying really doesn't work for "Mr." because the male honorific doesn't change based on marital status. You get you "Mr." just by existing, you don't need to earn it.
