No jobs for graduates
 

On the basis that virtually everyone seems to go to 'University' are they really surprised.

I always thought the secret plan was give everyone 4 A levels and hide them away in further education...helps the jobless figures...

But they are out now looking for work.Where will you hide them Gordon? Should they all do a masters for a year?

Serves 'em right tbh. Waaaay too many people going to uni, doing useless Media studies degrees etc. It used to be the top 10% who'd go to uni, now they seem to let anybody in! :freak3:

Bizarre, i was going to cite media studies myself!! If i was an employer i'd be highly sceptical of all but the best degrees these days. A degree today isn't what it was a decade ago. And it certainly shouldn't be a guarantee of a cosy first job.

Go out and get a proper apprenticeship. You'll always be needed with a trade!!!

Not sure the boys at JCB would agree with you but i know what you mean...

Surf Science!?:eek: The Rundown | Features - The UK's wackiest degrees

Well i'm doing an engineering degree, one of the more important ones, so when i graduate i should be fine :D


I've just looked at the above website and found..

"Potentially funnier are the Stand-up Comedy courses offered by the University of Kent and the University of Salford. Peter Kay himself took this module while he was completing his HND at Salford."

If peter kay is anything to go by, anyone wanting to be a comedian should not do this course

Yes you shuld be. If you run your application letters through a spell checker...

And what about all the debt they have aquired over the years of Uni?

Smart arse :brickwall

lol at Tel.

I said it before and I'll say it again.

I was raised to believe that there are 3 degrees worth having that will stand you in pretty good stead for work.
In no particular order:

Medicine
Law
Engineering

Everything else is pish

I am at University at the moment just completing my final year doing Business Computing and Multimedia and the future does look bleak for once I qualify

A degree in life experience is what my Dad told me :)

Is that Zeus with a lithp? :Suspiciou

quite :nono:

:lol1: BUSTED :D

I don't want to come across as Ignorant (having no degree to my name) but what exactly do you study? Surely all Business' use computers. Normally of the input data type. And Multimedia? Well isn't that using the Internet or watching TV?

How far off am I to assume, you learn how to use the internet [homer]they have the internet on computers nowadays?[/homer] to input data about business?


I concur with Peanuts point about the big 3. I'll possibly add Science to it though and maybe langauges. ;) And everybody elses that a) Uni graduates generally can't wipe their own arse in my experience! and b) If you do a soft Degree, you've wasted all that time and money, and would have better earnings potential if you'd worked at Tescos and progressed from shelf stacker to manager. Plus you wouldn't have the £200K debt these students mange to run up in 4 years!

There are plenty of jobs for graduates with proper degrees.

There are not many for morons who studied "soft" subjects just for the sake of getting a degree.

Or even Owned!

Woo hoo, I have a proper degree!!
Not been much use to me though...

Just helped a nr Grad write his CV (landlords son!) and although I think he's now got a pretty useful document to use, it feels like equipping a soldier for the modern battlefield with a wooden spoon as a weapon.
Three years ago he would have got a job easily, now it's going to be VERY hard. And yes, he does (nearly) have a proper degree from a proper red brick Uni.

Actually, I think you'll find that it's pwned!

Get your facts right first
 

:rolleyes:


You missed the point by about four billion light years i'm afraid - the clue is in the edited post above mine. Peanuts saw the original, hence his post, if you need a further clue ;)


Shame that the cock revelling in that has been owned himself so spectacularly :lol1:

PMSL at everyone jumping on the bandwagon and making a **** of themselves. :lol1:

Entertaining though :D

Who is doing all the negitive rating? :rolleyes:

Media studies graduates is my guess :lol1:

Yes but that degree does not put letters after your name or increase your earning potential (on average).

Funniest thing is that pretty much no "proper" surfers give this "degree" a second look.
All Bay Window/Beetle owning long haired wannabees that ride longboards and smoke dope to look cool.

How do Open Univeristy degrees fair with prospective employers these days? IT degrees for example.

I agree with the three types of Degree worth having, but would also include Computer Science in that. There are several hundred jobs for anyone who has MSc/MPhil in this area at the minute.
