What nonsense did you believe in as a kid?Ever thought that you could get flushed down the loo? That girls wee out their bottoms? Or that bumming means two men rubbing their bums together? Tell us about your childhood misconceptions. Thanks to Joefish for the suggestion.

See this:"By "proper subject" I take it you mean law followed by ten years of 24 hour days?
Because if you don't for every graduate you point to I'll show you someone earning more who never went to university."
This is a crock of shite. I don't mind if you're a bit insecure and don't feel able to admit that it's a crock of shite. It's probably got something to do with the fact that you did a shit degree and have a mediocre life and resent other people their success.

Nope.I just know graduates and non graduates in similar roles and have also noticed that advertised graduate roles don't seem to pay more than other skilled roles.
The law comment was a little facetious because they're a group who spring to mind who do earn more and need a degree to do so. I know there will be three figure salaries in science and maths but Ive seen nothing to suggest that a degree in science or maths will guarantee that kind of earning potential.
For example if you want to earn a little more than an average graduate seems to me you could do so by takkng a vocational qualification or learning an equivalent skill.
For the record I'm both a non-graduate and a failure -- because I don't have what it takes to get a degree or a career.

The whole post.Honestly ... I'm really not sure why you're banging away at this particular drum. Either you care because you have a chip on your shoulder about your lack of success ... or you're just arguing for the sake of it. I'm not sure at what point you are expecting it to become either endearing or engaging.

Yet your only argument against it were zome irrelevant figures with selection bias.I think you have an old fashioned view of things is all.

My only argument was that it's a crock of shite.(
