University applications down for 2013 entry

Far enough, if that is your position. However, my point is that much is dependent on the individuals, as well as the degree. After all there are those who embarked on a humanities or arts degree and have made successful careers in Law, Accountancy, ect. Of course after further study and so on. I am aware most of these individuals come from the very best universities and far fewer from the not so favorable unis in the eyes of society.

So my argument is not merely about transferable skills, I was not so much referring to this, I was talking about it how you use degree rather than the degree itself, for some degrees a career path is well laid out , so the skills you learn will be obviously more useful. However, I think the problem is individuals that do not have a clue what they want to do then apply for graduate schemes hoping to get something based of transferable skills alone a vast majority of these happen to be your typical arts or humanities grads, then again I think it is down to the individual.

Also we cannot all do Sciences, law and the other vocational degrees based on practical senses or space for courses ect.
