Is that evidence-based? There are a huge number of jobs in media and it looks like a few clubs could do with people who know about finance. Your proposing a production driven model. How about developing young people who are interested and excited about what they are learning who then go on to be innovators and creators in the future. serve the person, not the machine.
I don't understand why such a high percentage of youngsters go to university in the first place, It was much, much lower when I was that age. Many of those degrees are just pointless.
Unlike you, I do. But you have no idea of the chaos this causes, hence your typically opinionated but ill informed desire to trivialise things you don't understand.Because the greatest way to spend huge amounts of money is to pay for University classes in a country and language you don't know
Do you ever think how truly stupid a statement is before you post it
I sort of agree with you, but I'm not so sure that there are really that many pointless degrees or that they are offered by the institutions we might be expected to think they are.
At which University did you get your degree in Condescension?Because the greatest way to spend huge amounts of money is to pay for University classes in a country and language you don't know

I'm afraid NSC has tipped over the stupid level for tonight. Have fun everyone
30 odd years of being told it's the thing to do, expected by schools, college, parents that a degree was the best way for a career in anything. service/knowledge economy see, many jobs ask for degree it became self fulfilling to"need" one.
Nothing stupid about it.Because the greatest way to spend huge amounts of money is to pay for University classes in a country and language you don't know

Do you mean the media industry which is worth over 80 billion a year in revenue to the UK? Great idea!
Only if you have an anti-intellectual outlook on life. You should be able to freely educate yourself beyond topics directly relating to job vacancies.
Sorry I picked those two to exaggerate a point and with no evidence. However, as best as I can determine, roughly half of graduates end up in roles unrelated to their degree. Funds for education are finite. That's a fact. If the government (in other words us) is to fund free university places (and i think it should, including a return to living expenses grants) then I am wanting doctors and engineers trained in preference to Horologists and Puppeteers (exaggeration again).
I agree, at your own expense.
This is a very narrow minded view imo
But if the question is put the other way round, is it fair that less intellectual people (those that can't get into university) should be taxed so that the cleverer ones who are ultimately likely to be on higher wages, can have three subsidised years of education?
There used to be on the job training. Nurses studied for three years before qualifying but someone decided that to earn more money they needed a degree. (Bear with me)
I support the simple premise that education should be free, if people do not want to take up this free offer then fine. Regarding tax, we all subsidise someone or something we do not use. London subsidises the entire country to varying degrees, I was happy to do this when I lived there.
Very magnanimous of you.

I have been all over England watching Brighton play, and seen some very desperate places.....these scenes tugged at my warm socialist heart.
