We probably don't help ourselves because most of us also do know how to fix their computers.

But it is undoubtedly true that some graduates will find it a lot harder to get jobs than others. Most 1:1/2:1 graduates in traditional STEM subjects don't have too much trouble getting jobs. Most people I know in these subjects also manage to land well-paying internships in the summer.

I fundamentally refute the logic behind the last government's aim to get 50% of people in higher education. From what I can tell, most people shouldn't be in higher education. Why do 50% of people need to be strong in academic courses?
Not everyone, or even 50% of people, are academic. If this weren't the case then we wouldn't have such a strong notion of "good" and "bad" universities and courses. We'd be much better off encouraging people to go into skilled trades than taking expensive courses which offer neither the student not the taxpayer value for money.

Additionally, if people want to study economically worthless degrees then I think there should be no government subsidy. Why the taxpayer should fund adults to do courses "because it interests them" I have no idea.

Seconded.
