Taking a degree these days is nothing like it was in the 80's.Being a graduate then actually meant something and was a great achievment, unfortuanatly everyman and his dog seem to go on to university with a handful of third rate qualifications and expect a job at the end of it.It's the students I feel sorry for as it's not their fault the education system is in meltdown by giving A grades for 11 plus style exams. The exeptionally bright kids cannot shine anymore and employees are tired of interviewing graduates who are not up to the mark. It's generally considered that going to university is a complete waste of time and money and a government scam to keep school leavers off the dole queue. Stick your money in your flight training and at least you'll have a licence.
