Cleaner, florist, delivery driver, grave digger. So yes! Looking at my current situation I would be more than pleased with such alternatives.

Bee a brick layer... loved it

Did steel erection in Paris tres bien

Designed parts for the MRCA/ADV latee Tornado F2/F3

You tell me but I take the now obsolete view the EVERYONE HAS WORTH even if they don't go to uni.

I value people on their own behaviours and commitments and I will pull people up by tgeir bootstraps if they have the nerve to commit and try a d yes even fail. As stated here - media studies are not real subjects yet we have members of TP at uni doing photography.... media study n'est pas?

I am still waiting to hear how much money all of us here are paying for students at Uni.

I paid for my youngestson to go and do "Sport Coaching and Management" Was unemploed for 4 days after that degree course was completed. He is better educated th0an many working in Politics....

So easy to pick on sectors... far easir to help and guide.

Someone got nipped by a dog, not everyone like car bonnet ornamrnts (sorry cyclists) The ban it all DM brigade are out and I a getting paid to sit on a sun terrace drinking silly expensive "real lemonade" from strange shaped glass bottles, waiting for a client rep whose car has broken down because he went to uni/rides a horse/dodsn't hate otbers or whatever.

I will donate some of my unearned commission today to the charity that helps haters get over their Daily Mail mind warping addiction

Abandon hope all who enter that zone

ST4 said:
yes, but that is my point. The bulk of graduates do crap courses at crap uni's. it is their funding that should be withdrawn.

Be grateful you live in a beautiful country

Crap from crap universities frankly speaking. Your comment is certainly nil and void for any of top 20 uk universities and most likely beyond that. My experience at Warwick could not be more different. Students must be properly motivated to take advantage of the education.

School education is another topic. There are some shocking examples, and many world wide surveys are not encouraging.

You are going to Warwick @ 16yo?

Really?

Very twisted viewpoint at a time when China and India are driving their youth harder and harder to build new economies. Indian universities deliver cross spectrum graduates valued in developing and tecbnologically advanced nations but left to you that state is not for the UK???

Scotland free of the UK will not make that mistake.

I have a BSC hons in chemistry from the university of Aberdeen if you must know.

Lectures, like anything, are the student getting the benefit of someone elses time, expertise. This, IMHO, needs paid for by the students. In Scotland tuition fee's are paid for. Student loans, the finance comes from the government. Without the loans people wouldn't go, and I (as a tax payer) are helping finance this. It's not even like the loan, like a bank loan, has to repaid at a commercially viable rate and in a commercially normal time frame.

so, like a lot of people you didn't pursue a career based on your degree whats the big deal.

Where there is blame there's a claim.

Have you been bitten by a dog, or been affected by someone bitten by a dog? Are you frothing at the mouth in sympathy?

Quite a big one, like so many, I should have been in the work place younger rather than wasting time in a uni. I'd have paid more tax and taken less out of the economy, like so many others

Good Grief

That's almost the Burning Martyr defence....

Sodit, Grabbit and Runn take less of the compo and will chance your arm of merely knowing someone who heard of a dog bite victim.....
