Another thing I couldn't help but wonder is; so what if the cheater gets the job? If it's a job related to his degree, sooner or later he'll get caught out, he'll get fired, and someone that deserves the position gets it. lol, touché! I think you're not giving degrees enough credit, so it's obvious you think the opposite of me! You know, you seem to be getting into way too much detail with this. It seems like you think I'm saying the current system is perfect! No one is saying that without qualifications you're screwed because it proves that you're stupid. Heck, if we take the amount of money you make as a decider for your success in life, I think it's 4 or 6 of the worlds 10 richest men either didn't go to university or they dropped out! Obviously these people are very talented, they don't have degrees, and they're successful! No one said you're screwed without a degree. But until we find a perfect system that judges ALL our abilities, from theoretical, to practical, to physical, to concentration, to linguistics etc etc, we have to use higher education and degrees. Yes, you can have a certain field of education with or without a degree, but the friends in question, they're smart, and they don't have a specific field of education. They just have the ability to understand and assimilate things. If look at our brains as hard drives. They would have something like 100Gb of data, where as I would have 20Gb of data. My 20Gb is full of Math and Science, theirs is full of a million different subjects, but never knowing any of those subjects well enough! So to an employer searching for someone smart with knowledge of Math, I'd be a better candidate. My friends are smarter than me, but they haven't proved their competences in Math. They could end up sucking at Math if they tried studying it deeply! You're judging society! Not me! As I said in previous post, it's not me that decided the A-level qualification of Social Studies is useless. I only spoke about the qualification, not the field of study! As for the useless knowledge, that's just common sense. If I have knowledge about psychology, Math, Engineering, history, football, basketball etc and I go to apply for a job as lifeguard, my knowledge is useless!! The only person that's ever thought that math and physics makes me part of the "elite" is my old fashioned parents! You probably didn't read my posts before, that's why you think what you think! I hope I've cleared things up! |

On Cheating:
Actually, surprising amount of overseas students(mostly chinese) cheat in their studies here, I knew a guy who did the exams for them. Like Noodle said though, cheaters eventually get caught out. Even though the guy did it for money, i still felt bad for him, he was a unemployed graduate hoping to gain some more money for the timebeing, AND THEN he managed to snag a job in advertising with a £30k+ salary, just before he started his new job, he got caught for the exam/cheat scheme and then deported back to China. The irony was that he didn't need to earn that extra money, his father was a very important and very rich diplomat in China, he was given money. But that £30K job was his way out of a arranged marriage to a CEO's daughter he didn't love. Shame really. "I'm sorry, but i must have given you the impression that I actually care about your opinions"

I'm in my 4th year in my university either. Studying on Enviromental Engineering.
After that I'm planning to study MA in foreign country. I wanna go Canada, Cuba or Ireland for it. |
