This is a question Conned

swiftyisNOTevil writes, "I have recently become obsessed with the BBC Three show 'The Real Hustle' - personally, I think of it as a 'How To' show for aspiring con artists."

Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

I feel conned out of my time
by being tricked into reading people whinge about degree costs and how they don't lead to jobs.

In the UK, the average graduate earns more than £400,000 over their lifetime more than the average non-graduate. Fact.

Yes
But it is waiting for that to happen. Secondly, as Churchill said- there are lies, damned lies and statistics.

Statistics
You also have to remember that 72.4% of statistics are made up...

the key is not waiting...
piston you have to go and look for jobs that pay they don't come and find you (unless you are exceptionally great)!

Average graduate
I've not met any. All the ones I know are failures.

No-one tricked you into reading the stories
You read them of your own volition.

Your facts are also spurious - £400 000 a year for the average working life of 21-65 works out at £9090 per annum. I would hope a good number of non-graduates are pulling in more than that over their lifetime.
