It's one of the biggest scams going, create thousands of pointless degree courses after upgrading hundreds of further education colleges to give out these pointless degrees.

So thousands of students who would be better suited to vocational work or professional trades have now got a sub standard degree in media studies from a university nobody has heard of. And they have £30,000 debt as well.

So now unemployed looking for that perfect media job they are sadly disappointed to learn 5,000 other graduates have similar or better degrees and they too are looking for the same job you are after.

So now unable to get your foot on the ladder to success unable to slot into the high powered media position you thought was there , instead saddled with 30 grand of debt you cannot leave your parents house and have to take any job you find.

So McDonald's at this point start to look like a good career move....

This situation is replayed over and over again and is a direct consequence of the shameful exploitation of the higher education system and a misguided or deluded idea that everyone should have a degree and all go to excel in high powered professional careers.

Society doesn't work like that , we can't all be Chiefs there have to be some Indians . A mixture of workers straddling all levels of employment .

Getting an apprentiship and being trained and paid and getting work experience from the start is now a very desirable career choice. I only wish there were more apprentiships out there.

But the present situation is unsustainable and unfair to the hundreds of thousands of youngsters whose carreer aspirations are being seriously undermined by successive govts shortsighted and ultimately flawed education policies.
