Then fucking tough.
Them's the breaks.

And that is bollocks because they will lend you the money. You may owe a fortune when you finish but that, for me, will encourage people out of hotel management degrees.

You'll be on here complaining when you get substandard service in a hotel in a couple of years...

In all likelihood.
But that is the sort of shit that should be vocational. Taxpayers, in times of austeriity, should not be paying for a Beatles degree from John Moores University.

People on b3ta often rail against the pure nonsense spouted in the Daily Mail, yet people still come out with tosh like this.
Of course tax-payers should not fund filthy scousers doing a Beatles degree at John Moores and thankfully, they don't.
Silly Stunned.

I didn't say that there were no Mickey Mouse degree courses in the world.
When you show me evidence of UK tax-payers funding such studies I will (un)happily eat my words and apologise.

The problem is the only options available for kids now is the dole or higher education.
Even the clever ones aren't going to easily find jobs nowadays.

Our industry can't find good engineers anymore.
We have a couple of useless nitwits here but we daren't get rid of them in case we can't find replacements.

I agree with this.
But again, you CAN go to Uni. You will just owe a shitload of money when you are finished.

This is what I mean.
There are kids going in to uni regardless of the debt. And let's face it we never thought that far ahead at that age. These are kids who would rather work or would be more suited to working instead of trying to get a degree they don't really care that much about.

We need more techinical training
We should be training more plumbers, engineers etc, rather than art historians.
