Forgot that! Of course, one could ask "Why a Degree?" for basic Nursing but that is straying back into the whole Apprenticeship vs a Degree debate. As one nephew said recently "I have to go straight on to do a Masters - employers don't bother with first Degrees any more! They assume everyone has one.". Obviously that could have been industry-specific (Industrial Chemistry) ....... or maybe more widespread in terms of the devaluation of first Degrees. Anyway, I've spent enough time commenting on this dangerous topic given my own domestic situation vis-a-vie the NHS!! I better quit before I'm exposed!!!!!!!! Oooo, er!!!!
