Are Universities really irrelevant though? I never got the chance, and many
others did not either. In many ways its the short sightedness of employers
who seem to want bits of paper instead of actually wanting to see what an
applicant can do and maybe train them.
Universities should be there to teach complex stuff, but stuff which is
relevant. It needs to be funded by the people who can use the trained
people, not the poor student. If you just make it ability to pay, you get
the idiot rich kids in there, not the down to earth practical people you
need. This is why graduates have become a laugh. IE if you want a well
educated person with no common sense, employ a graduate.

Just heard a lad on the local radio station saying that he got one C grade
and two U grades in his A levels and now cannot go to Uni to study Media
studies.

Am I the only one that thinks "Poor bugger, you would be going to Uni if
it was not for that C grade"?
