Sounds like the usual lefty adoration of failure.

Poverty is "adoration of failure"?
Guess you never had to get a job to help support your family.

Dunno why he's pointing this out, not like he's going to do anything about it.

Uni has become a way of extending full time education to 21 though, do half the people going get the slightest benefit from it? Should be like Germany have the kids leaving school ready for a trade with a "city & guilds" equivalent style certificate. |

Depends if you see the primary purpose of university as related to career prospects rather than furthering academic interest. |

The point of education is education and it does not matter if it is cracking Fourier's Analysis or discovering how Monkey manages to roger so many young women within 5 minutes of them walking through the pub door, it is something you did not know before and it is a wonderful feeling.
I am not so sure about the practicality of the Hun education system as such. The UK had a similar method with ONCs,City and Guilds and the like, but we were too happy moaning about everything to acknowledge it.

Pah! Higher education is a waste anyways. Our fast food burger flippers make as much as doctors now because they complained that they couldn't support a family working at Burger King.

Education is about knowing something you didn't know before and is never wasted

He's joking. He's educated and is my silly friend; I take full responsibility for his idiocy as mine is contagious. |

Yes, and you do that all through life, the only reason to do it and pay large amounts though is to get a job or improve one's chances of that at the end of it, and sadly that is not the case in a great many subjects and degrees anymore. Universities have their place, but as a general extension of full time education they have become something they were not intended to be. When everyone can spend a couple of years there and walk out with a 2:1 the certificate becomes largely worthless as a tool to differentiate between candidates. |
