Husky Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Get good grades, go to uni, do degree, get a job only partially related to degree, never use any of it again, forget it all, may as well have never gone. I wish I'd just gone and been a joiner/carpenter; I'd have skills transferable to any location including other countries, have the opportunity to really be my own boss being self employed, the list goes on. As it is, I'm stuck in a corner of specialism meaning I have to follow the work if I want a decent pay. There is far to big a push on university as the be all end all of peoples transition into a successful career in adulthood. It's done too early for kids to have the first clue of what they really genuinely want to do with their life, and it's so permanent costing lots of money and time, you can't exactly go redo it. Having sat through 4 years of university and got the subsequent job from the degree, I can say it wasn't for me and I wish I'd done something else. I'm not a money or career driven person, and I'd rather be in a job paying half as much with more satisfaction than the one I'm in, but I'm now overqualified for those or would have to completely retrain taking years and lots of money. I'd just say it's worth looking at what a kid actually wants to do and if university is the right environment for them to learn before pushing them down the overly trodden sheep path. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 " The push towards University " Was a way of hacking 'Unemployment' figures. Same as school leaving age. 14 to 15 to 16 to 18??? Oh no sorry. That was cynical of me. No it wasn't it was for equality between rich and poor....... Then when loads of people go because of this equality. We won't be able to afford it so we can start to charge them all again. Job jobbed they won't notice.............. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
