Re: Who has a degree and doesn't use for their job?
Morning all.
Degrees seem mainly used a an indication of attainment, & that's it! My brother has two of them, & has never used either, as he's worked in IT since 1984.
I also find it unacceptable that around 50% of degree courses are dropped out of before completion, which is a shocking waste of taxpayers money. hence I agree with student loans.
As said, these days degrees seem to be given out like confetti, which will render them less & less an indication of an individuals ability to study as time progresses.....Degree, please take one!
It hacks me off that so much importance is placed on useless paper qualifications. Furthermore, as this country has got rid of it's manufacturing base (thanks Maggie) there are fewer & fewer skilled manual careers to be had.
There are not enough 'white collar' jobs for everyone, & not everyone could work at a desk, but there are few opportunities where people of the 'blue collar' type can work, attain skills, & hopefully achieve a reasonable income. & yet everyone from the Government down wonders why a proportion of the 'youth of today' act the way they do.
Well if the prospect of a 'career' saying, 'would you like fries with your cows lip burger' is all you have to look foreward to, wouldn't you be pi55ed off?
Cheers.
