Stop doing terrible degrees!

I am taking the piss because you went "muh orthographical error", which was a pathetic response. There are no issues with women in particular, I am almost certain I have a better understanding of both of the issues you bring up in this post.

You are completely legally equal to a man.

that wasn't even me lolololol I was defending the person above who said that and insulted you. As a woman, I stand by what I said, you cannot speak from your position of privilege as a man (I'm assuming). Just because I don't agree with you, and I'm a woman, you think it's okay to belittle my opinion. Grow up, little boy.

In the main, those would be Asian by ethnicity, not by nationality. They'd be predominately American by upbringing, and have more in the way of social skills and emotional maturity.

Look, we get that there are legitimate issues out there. But saying stuff like 'as a woman' like your experience is the same as those undergoing real persecution, is quite douchey.

lol did you even read what I wrote? the person above was insinuating that those who study gender studies (women, mainly) cannot take 'banter' and my point is that the systematic oppression of women everywhere in the world is something to be taken seriously and not joked about or dismissed. Which is why i'm all for people learning about the wider contribution women have made to society - on all scales. I think you need to learn how to make inferences before you jump to your child-like and petulant conclusions.

WS teaches women that they are oppressed full stop. It is a truly self-centered discipline that doesn't give a toss about real oppression. Third wave feminism is a total joke; more than that, it's really quite offensive and spreads toxic and dangerous ideas. If you're happy enough to see yourself as a victim, then that's your prerogative.

By the way, using "lol" like that does not add credibility to your argument. Glad I could help.

i'm actually just laughing at your stupidity. Goodbye.

NO.
Teachers are required everywhere all around the globe.
There is a shortage .

Teachers have the highest employment rates
Surely you want to be in a job after you graduate

Teachers apparently have the highest salary after graduating
Teachers have plenty of opportunities to increase their salary by taking up higher positions.

Stick to what you love.

Ignore the STEM BS

Great argument, well made. I'd expect nothing less from a feminist.

Really? 21K is considered the highest salary after graduating? What Tab article are you reading?!

Just got myself an apprenticeship in Engineering I should earn over 25k once I qualify proves that you don't need a degree

TLR in schools are hardly used in state schools pre-2015 and the increase of teachers' wages are up by 1%.... (at least in secondary schools).

I want to become a teacher, but right now it's in a crisis and it's just not worth it right now.

But as you said, they'll always be a need for teachers.

No, teaching is the perfect example of a waste of time.

What's a standard route? Do a degree for three years then a PGCE conversion course to teach something your first degree wasn't even in?

Don't misunderstand, I am not bashing teachers or saying they shouldn't study at a place of higher education. I am saying that the current system is vastly inefficient.

Excuse me?

In order to qualify for a PGCE course, your degree needs to be at least 50% in the subject you wish to teach. So I really don't understand what you're saying?

Also a PGCE, by definition allows you to teach any subject. But you simply choose which subject to specialize in by picking a PGCE in Secondary English.

You can then go and teach English. But you can have Geography, History, Biology on your timetable because you are legally and professionally allowed to teach any subject. Of course, no school would give you a subject that's outside the applicant's speciality. But I'm just here to clarify your ideas, rather than your self-proclaimed facts.

It proves that YOU don't need a degree. It doesn't prove a thing for others; such as doctors, nurses, teachers, etc.

Apprenticeships aren't that viable anyway. They pay minimum wage and are very restricting. Some people don't have the option of doing apprenticeships because of where they live and etc.

Unfortunately, you need a degree nowadays because the majority are going to uni which makes it incredibly harder to apply for an £18K salary without a degree.

Hi,

I know my making this post is going to raise a lot of anger, especially among the new-age mob who say passion and determination are the only factors levying success, but sadly I have seen a lot of posts giving students terrible advice regarding their academic future by telling them a degree in a non-vocational and non-traditional subject will have little impact on their future job prospects. Put simply, it is morally indefensible to advice young people that a degree in some bizarre liberal arts discipline is a good use of their one-off student loan; employers nowadays have an abundance of graduates whom to choose from and being disadvantaged in one aspect of your personal profile because you were fed misinformation by your peers will lead many young graduates fighting it out for low-paid employment.

Of course there will be people who will tell you how they've become a millionaire with their English degree from London Met, but we also need to have a sense of perspective. Do not go to university if you are not sure what you want to do with the rest of your life. University is expensive. And is £50,000 of student debt a burden you want to carry when you don't even have an end-plan in mind? There are a lot of graduate opportunities available for students who graduate from any university with a 2:1, but if you don't possess much added-experience alongside your academic qualifications, then the subject discipline holds a lot relevance. My Area Manager, who is a young graduate, told me that he was informed during his application process that students with "weak degrees in weak subjects" are ignored during selection. He said the degree that you choose to study at university says a lot about you as a person and the level of work ethic you acquire as well. Spending time in industry and developing proper work experience is a much better and more efficient use of time for those who don't know what they want to do than going to university, as work experience is paramount for employers and the on-the-work pay is an added bonus as well.

Here's an excellent video I'd advice you all to watch:
