Only a small percentage of students actually study anything valid that will later be of use to the country , subjects like , engineering , the sciences etc . Most students do irrelevant degrees that they will never use . They want a degree so that when they finally go out into the real world they can demand a far higher salary . They're not interested in helping the country or anybody else , they're doing it to line their own pockets .
Surely this is completely unsustainable . We don't need more and more students costing the tax payer millions just so they can have an irrelevant piece of paper .
What we need is our own young people doing the jobs in this country that need to be done . Maybe if we didn't spend so much putting people through higher education , we could subsidise the minimum wage to a level that you can actually live on it . Then we could legitimately force people of benefits , stop cheap labour being imported from other countries , along with all the problems that brings , and start to put this country back together again .
What do you think ?
MrHairyman ; I don't want people to be uneducated quite the reverse infact . Children should be educated correctly at school . If they were most school leavers would know more than unerversity graduates do now .
I believe experience is worth far more than a bit of paper . I know plenty of people with degrees and frankly many of them aren't very bright . The most succesful people I know all left school at 16 .
I'm not stopping anyone getting higher education , I just think it should be done in your own time at your own expence . I think to be funded by the tax payer to do a degree course you should have to commit to a certain amount of years working for the benifit of the country .
