[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 487373, member: 1408"] Just throwing this out in this season of A levels etc . Was it advanced by the Labour Government under Blair that everyone MUST go to Uni that cranked up this concept that discounting how clever you may be , you must get a place in uni. Yet there were once prestigious colleges of advanced education round here & in all our areas that could take you through , say , the basic C&Gs that Sparkies need to ONC & HNC in electrical & mechanical studies. In my opinion these courses were far more prestigious than many of today's useless Uni degrees that won't get you any further in getting a job. Our friend's grandson has just graduated with , I think , a masters degree in Mech. Eng . Job offers so far seem to be in sales on commission . Go figure as they say . [/QUOTE]
