'Curbing 'rip-off' degrees is a return to common sense' Re Metro, Tue: 'PM vows to curb 'rip-off' degrees that don't lead to good jobs'. At last it is recognised the perceived belief that only having a university degree means you get a good job is to be abandoned, and emphasis put back into more apprentice-based jobs like building skills, car maintenance, heating engineers and many other in-demand occupations. Anyone over 60 has been saying it for years, as most never had a university education but had basic abilities to read, write and add up and worked all their lives in such jobs. Not only will this return to common sense stop us relying on imported labour and give our 18-year-olds more job choices, it will eliminate the huge debt accumulated and they'll have real-life experiences instead of the cloistered, woke, 'we are right and nobody else has the right to challenge us' peddled by universities.
