Does the government think students are mugs or what?

Lol, they're mugs if they do pointless degrees.

You took the words straight out of my mouth aha I mean people I have heard of would study some foundation degree courses in say accountancy at a horrid university and then complain that they cannot become an accountant

The government tell us for years to get a good job we need to go to University.

Then they triple our fees, charging us for something that used to be free.

Now there's no jobs, the government tell graduates who can't find a job need to stop shunning jobs in Starbucks, McDonalds, Pret A Manger etc and learn what "hard work" is and to start at the bottom and work their way up.

A receptionist or an office assistant is starting at the bottom, in my opinion, not waitressing or making coffee.

Does the government think people are really going to go for low paid jobs when they are being charged extortionate fees?

If you buy a first class plane ticket, and the flight is full, are you going to be content with being sent to economy class? No, you're not, you deserve business class at least.

Why do an accountancy degree even? when there are school leaver programmes such with KPMG which garuntee jobs.

I respect your opinion mate, but a degree is far from pointless if it has the interest of the student.

Lol, they're mugs if they do pointless degrees.

Why are you blaming the government, when the culpable parties are clearly successive generations of teachers and parents, as well as the students themselves?

Does the government put across the "university or bust" message that you get in schools, or indeed on TSR?

Whaaat? Noooo...The government don't think students are mugs...The government thinks EEEEEVERYONE'S a mug. Unless of course you're a politician, cuz they're all stand up all deserving citizens.

I think the government did put across this message with a lot of government-funded university advertising/ pushing in schools.

Some governments were satisfied with much lower levels of university education. Such governments were derided by students as being elitist.

Later governments pushed for 50% or more of young people becoming undergraduates. Naturally this had to be accompanied by telling people that it was going to all be great.
