It's still a degree, it's a "proper" University, and you're an arrogant arse-hole As much use as an 11-plus these days. In the days when the top 8% of A-level candidates got an A, and the top 10% of Uni entrants escaped with a First, employers could reasonably decide those who could 'cut the mustard' out of any one year's prospective employees. With at least 50% getting a blanket 'In the top echelon' badge these days, no wonder there is some cynicism abroad. What's worse, there seems very little vocational training available for 14+ year-olds who are not academic. This maybe why we have so many chavs on the streets, and such a paucity of trained engineers (lowercase to stop offending some IEEE members) / mechanics / technicians / etc. -- Jim Crowther "It's MY computer" (tm SMG) Always learning. |
