shame you never went in the time of tory control then and had a nice 30 odd thousand quid debtDo it mate.
Agreed.
I resent Blair's education policy for normalising a culture where skilled trades were looked down upon in favour of meaningless degrees.
I'm not absolving myself or anyone of any guilt in regards to not doing enough independent research, but if you're told all throughout secondary school that you should go to sixth form then university because you'll earn more, you take it in. You notice that whilst it's not explicitly said, certain students are directed towards the trades and BTECs and apprenticeships and the like.
Reality of it is, a skilled tradesman will likely earn more than someone who has an average degree in an average subject from an average university and subsequently ends up in an average job.
