pie I agree you do have to study to pass but the fact is it's all about money and the schools and university all want to make money.
I still have a old GCSE mock maths exam paper which I sat 10 years ago I saw a GCSE mock math from last year and I'm sorry but the one from last year was easier.
How come since the uni and schools can now make profit has their been a bigger jump up than normal in pass rates and that university's have introduced new degree's which lets be honest are stupid courses which require no A levels to enter, I would not be suprised if within 5 years they do courses in opening mars bars.
I see from your profile you are a student and I can understand that you want to defend it but when you enter the outside world it a whole diffrent ball game and I'm fed up of namby pamby pinko liberals students who complain about having it tough they would not know what tough is if it came up and smacked them in the face. Please don't think I'm slagging you off but the truth is a degree will show you can study which is great for the airlines which are going to pay but to the outside world you know ****** all.
I worked my guts out for my flight training paid for it myself balanced a job between studying that was tough, if I had the chance to do it all over again I would do it exactly the same way I have done it through the years and during my interview with the airline I work for they were more impressed with the way I did it than someone who had a degree in maths etc.
