True. They said Students who study "Art" won't be earning much in the long run or something? But if you study something like "Maths" you will possibly earn a lot of money! Depending on your degree grade. If you just scrape a 2:2 or something you will be struggling to find a decent paid job when another graduate with a 2:1 or a 1st will be competing for the same job too!

However if you are good at Art you might as well be self employed. Draw and paint your own pictures/canvases and sell them off. You could end up earning a few hundered quid for each one.

However Angus.. If people don't choose to go to uni.. they will try and find a job in which there is limited amount of jobs going. There is also limited amount of apprentices going nowadays.

Also on the worthwhile degree courses they can only take so many people!

A lot of people are going to miss out and will end up on the dole taking ages to try and find a job or something!
