University Students

[mickd1961]

I agree in large part mate but it’s a real wake up call for those who go to “Uni” as a lifestyle choice and with no clue as to what they want to do when they leave.

I think it’ll make a lot parents think twice before letting their ****ager go in the future.

A friend of mine finished his Masters Degree last year told me that it could all have been done in a third of the time.

He said it was a huge waste of time and money being forced to stay in university for so long.

I think the whole “Uni” thing has become too much of a life “Accessory” and gloating rights for parents since Blair starting pushing it in 97.

At one point we were producing 70 x the number of photographers we needed I believe.

Totally agree Mick with what you say! My main issue is with greedy universities who are ripping students off and they are not getting what they paid for!! Refunds should be immediate as many of these kids are hugely in debt and not getting what they paid for!! Perhaps the Dean on around 300 grand a year should take a huge pay cut with students losing out - we know that will never happen! Universities are now a cash cow and littered with greed!

Absolutely spot on. I have never been to university and yet in every job I have worked in I have done exactly the same work as those that have and for the same pay, and I left school with the most basic education, just pushed myself a little when I realised life did not owe me anything and I had an incentive when I got married to do better so I did.

Today it is even worse. The amount of times you meet people for the first time and all they want to tell you is how many kids they have at university. It has become an add on for today’s young people. When I hear some of the topics young people study at uni it makes me want to laugh and cry all at the same time.

I respect those that do go and become something, Doctors, lawyers, scientists etc, but those that just go into ordinary jobs after years of study have wasted time and money and then just moan about it.
