I agree
In part. However due to the huge increase in university graduates over the last few years a lot of jobs ask for people with degrees. It doesn't matter if the job doesn't require a person with a bachelors qualification nor does it matter if the job is totally removed from the degree you have. They just ask for it. So the choice is to go to uni and leave with a qualification and a massive debt or find it harder to look for a job. It's a bit shit really.

Which is handy if you're comfortable enough to sponge off your parents 5+ years after finishing school.

Who's sponging?

Kids who stay on after finishing school.

what jobs though?
ones in the service economy or are you going to live in China? the living standards in the west are being standardised to match other nations.the second phase of the IMF was always spoken about as far back as the 1950s as being the structure to take over sovereign debt. They're using Greece as an example but the truth is there's few in the eurozone that haven't been cooking the books for the past decade. Factor in the deliberate deregulation of the banking industry (1998 BoE act) by the (privately owned)central banks leading to the crisis and you see how it all fell neatly into place. Just my opinion. I could be wrong

If it was down to me I'd have people learning agriculture and animal husbandry with a dash of community living instead, disengage from this parasite system or be led through increasing dependancy on it to their (the central banking masters) desired outcome. but I am a hopeless hippy

I'm getting a bit ranty now so I better leave it at that. free hugs :)

Thing is, though the heavy industry is mostly gone, there is still manufacturing in the UK.
Supermarkets are a major driving force for the industry, not just for the companies who manufacture their products but for all the other companies in the supply chain who provide the raw materials, the product packaging, the labels, the plant equipment, the oil, disinfectant, lubricants etc. need to run the plant, the plant fitting and maintenance, the pallets and internal packaging, the distribution, and so on - the majority of these are also based here.

Sainsburys, Tesco etc. generally aren't prepared to wait six weeks for their order to be shipped from China if there's a factory in Rochdale that can do a similar or better product and get it to them in four days, even if it is slightly more expensive. The added bonus for the supermarkets is that they can easily enter a direct dialogue with a UK or European manufacturer and have closer control over the marketing, quality and development of their products; unless the supermarket concerned has a considerable presence in China they have to go through third-party agents to source their goods.

Mmmmm
The British workplace is stuffed full of lazy ignorant fuckers. The trick to getting on is to always work hard, always have a good attitude and always do what you say you will. Never think 'not my problem' for example. It's perfectly possible to leave school with no qualifications, let alone a degree, and work your way to a 100 grand
