Why would you want to lumber yourself with £27,000 of debt, simply so you can be in exactly the same position as everyone else?
•
Why do graduate programmes need to hire graduates? In what way does a degree in philosophy, or gender studies, or politics, or physics, make you any more qualified than a school leaver to work as a manager in Asda?
•
Why wouldn't you take a professional qualification, like from the Chartered Institute of Marketing, or Prince2? They are industry recognised, infinitely cheaper, shorter and often fall within the confines of CPD (and thus can be paid for by an employer).
•
In the face of increased competition in the sector, and plummeting admissions for profit-making courses, we're importing hundreds of thousands of students every few years. Universities are going out of their way to offer scholarships and funding to international students, ahead of home students. What chance do you have? Little to none. Thanks progressivism.
•
Worse yet, Universities, whether you are aware of it or not, prolong your adolescence. You've got no idea what real life is like. You are the 16 year old's of yesteryear; you are treading the path of least resistance, seeing it as a rite of passage. You become ingrained in your thought processes (people do as they get older, particularly between the ages of 18-22), particularly in modern Universities which encourage conformity and collaboration, and promote 'safe spaces' to protect you from other people's feelings.
•
The sense of entitlement, among my generation, is through the roof. 1 in 6 graduates expect to be earning £100,000 per year by the age of 30. What has reared this massive sense of entitlement and narcissism? The higher education sector. It's delusional, to say the least.
