Degrees in the UK have been degraded as 50% of school leavers go to university, which would be fine, except a sizeable chunk do joke degrees like ‘meeja studies’ (media studies), golf management, and other weak degrees that used to be college or vocational courses.
*-—college in the UK and Ireland isn’t the same as the US, its for bright students, who cant quite get the grades to get into university. I suppose the US equ. would be community college, or somewhere between CC and university.
You can do courses at college level of 1-2 yrs and leave with a good qualification, or use them to jump into uni courses at a 2nd or 3rd yr level.
Sounds about right with CC and Univ..... different names and all.....
My bro’s kid was telling us about the projects at his school. One of which was save the world. I asked him, from what. I got deer in the headlights. I asked, save the world from what?
He said I don’t know, global warming? I said that stopped over 12 yrs ago. He said no it didn’t. I said look at the stats. He started talking to the kids. I went and set my brother straight on his 10th grade son. He should know better. But he’s too busy working to pay for their mcmansion and brand new SUVs.
