UNI Rant

[Kezzieboy]

For the record, I always make one point when this argument gets going.

I believe whole-heartedly in education for the sake of education. Why do all degrees have to be vocational? Many of my friends are doing degrees because they want to further themselves, which is EXACTLY what they're doing, even if their degree in, for example, medieval history doesn't lead on to a specific job in later life.

And therein lies the problem, as this is completely fine for those whose parents can stump up the money for it (lucky them) but for those of us that this is very much not the case we NEED loans and grants available, at a reasonable rate in order to do this.

Awaits abuse from people with 'real jobs' lol.


Oh, and for the record, I'm doing MEng Mechanical Engineering (Automotive) at the University of Birmingham, one of the pioneering universities when it comes to oppressing and exploiting their students, with the best paid Vice-Chancellor in the country.
