No, so all the kids who would have had to fuck off and get jobs now roll up for 3 years on the smash and all the kids who want to learn have to pay five times as much

Well it isn't really any government's fault that capitalism has failed the way it has.

If the housing and credit bubble hadn't basically popped (lets face it that is what has happened), and (amongst other things) the government wasn't forced to prop up the electorate's house price increases, via the banks, by cutting essential services to poor people, the jobs would be there at graduate level.
Panel beating a car is not a scalable occupation, but designing a panel beating machine is. Degrees are only devalued because of the glut of young people with them without work.

"chinese elephant man" said:I have a 2:1 in computer science. If I didn't have this, I wouldn't have gotten my first job along my career path. However, given the experience and level I am at now the degree is irrelevant.
You see that's how it works. The best entry level jobs have a degree as an entry requirement, but the more senior jobs are experience related! So basically I can be in a senior role at quite a young age, where as some chav chancer will take years to work their way up by doing the shit jobs that no one wants! They also have to be really good and motivated to stand out... This takes far longer than the 3-4 years at uni!
