Quote: The Video Ref "I know masses of people who have left university with degrees such as 'business studies'.
Many of them are working in run-of-the mill jobs that do not require anything more than a sensible school leaver. They receive no extra financial reward for their degree, nor does their degree have any tangible impact on their job.
I don't see how we, as a society, benefit from these people having degrees. Does it mean they are likely to make more intelligent conversation in the pub or something?
Unless you do something super specialised (medicine, law etc...) the chances are your first degree will be irrelevant after 5 years.'"
Most prospectuses these days try to sell their "university experience," rather than education. I think that refers to giving students a platform to get p***ed and act in an immature manner without having to worry that they come out without a "qualification".
