I don't know because I was never at UNI----------- too busy just surviving-- but Tony Blair was the one who encouraged more school leavers to go to University.

I do not believe that any education is wasted-- and that having a chance to spend a few years studying surely should improve hope of a good career.

It seems too many students go in for IT or Media studies. look for the shortages in the real world; read the adverts in the Class newspapers who advertise for University graduates.

Often when we are young we do not know what we really want to do in life-- so for those who Do- have an end in view they will try to attend courses that will enable them to pursue the desired career.


I often think it depends on THE PARTICULAR COURSE and of course the Teachers? Lecturers.


I believe everybody deserves a crack of the whip-- If there were more apprentice placements in the fields of need for the future-- especially practical skills.


I worry for the students who will finish with enormous debts-- but struggle to find well paid employment.

I should think that time off to work for nothing in certain Businesses or
get work experience-- etc whilst still at UNI/college could be beneficial.
