I left school at 15 with nothing. Yet I got through the system and finished up on 4 engined heavy jets. Now, with my lack of academic qualifications I wouldn't get into a ATO for a 2 year sausage factory course.
Ahy don't they make it a post graduate doroctate and be done with it.
You can learn flare, aptitude or ability in a class room. You are either born with it or not.
I agree with you completely , in fact many degrees are so dumbed down and issued by “non” new universities that they become practically worthless… they are the new “o” level just about everybody has one . Mind you as our colleague has stated statistics will show more degrees than ever are being awarded .. more,s the pity .
