| 1. Its what happens when you cut the universities completely adrift of state funding, of course they are bound to accept anyone with the credentials to get a student loan or pay cash, of course they are.
2. Ultimately we aren't "funding people through university", they are borrowing money, which has to be paid back, up to £40k for some of them.

And my 7 years at the University of Bradford painted a completely different picture to yours. Maybe you just keep bad company? Or maybe you're just on a wind up. Again.'"
Nope. Plus that wasn't the company I kept, however I had eyes that reached beyond my own circle of friends and activities.
Maybe it is different at smaller Universities and places that aren't so geared up for students. Hence very different experiences.

| What the hell does it matter if students go out and get drunk on a night? As long as they do the work who cares in this context?

| Quote: LovesToSpooge "I must say I find it so sad that many of today's job's require a degree to merely get a foot in the door. Long gone are the day's of people starting at the very bottom and working their way up. It's such a shame for those who don't excel academically, but do so in a working environment, and I include myself in that category. Now don't have the chance to follow their dreams, because employers stipulate a degree to be necessary.
I know that myself and many of my older colleagues, wouldn't be where we are now without having had the chance to start at the very bottom. That's of course no longer an optional path. A degree in Marine engineering is a must. But for me we exclude so many viable candidates purely because they didn't excel in an educational environment that may not have suited them in the first place, and it's wrong...'"

| Quote: JerryChicken "Can I just say, you sound like a a really great person and the sort of invaluable asset to society that most of the millionaire "celebrities" should look up to.
THAT is the most important thing you wrote, if you enjoy your work then you can't put a price on that.'"
Thanks mate, really appreciate you saying that.
Best of luck to everyone starting uni over the next week or two.
