tom a lot of uni students do go out and get pissed a lot of nights (if thats your idea of fun) but its quite annoying when you get the students that go to uni for the sake of it just because their friends do which obviously costs the tax payer and we all know how skint we are (albeit no where near as bad as a lot of countries in the EU) so we should be cutting back on unnecessary things first - e.g. uni students that go for the experience and thats it.
Schools dont really push you in any sort of direction and i think thats why alot of people go to uni. they dont know what they want to do so just go and waste 3 years so it looks like they are doing something.
Either way, i agree with kezzie. People moan about this country a lot but its not that bad. Move to most other countries in the EU and its substantially worse. Problem is the Labour government decided it would be a bright idea to tell everyone that they can all go to uni when thats wrong. If you require a uni education for your line of work, go for it but a lot of trades don't and you can quite happily get into them via apprenticeships and even starting at the bottom and working your way up. Unfortunately a lot of people seem to think they are too good to start at the bottom because they have a few bits of paper and thats why you get so many people who say 'oh this countries shit. Ive been applying for jobs for years and never got an interview'. Maybe because your punching above your belt. Thanks to the labour party, there is loads of people with degrees so your degree means f*ck all when you go for a job interview because no matter how good you think you are, there will be someone out there with the same degree if better, and a hell of a lot more experience!
