I didn't go to uni but a lot of my friends did
and I'm earning more than most of them. Obviously some of them, who were ridiculously clever, went on to things like astronuclear engineering or whatever and they're earning dickloads, but the rest are just doing admin jobs in work that is kind of related to their field but not really. And not many of them are happy doing it. I think it's a bit unfair of the government and schools to advertise uni as this failsafe gateway to brilliant careers when the more people they try and stuff into universities, the lower the standards get and the less jobs there are for graduates when they come out. And because of the demand for jobs, employers are now demanding graduates for really low paid jobs.
