Student Loan Scheme

Ah, right. Are figures for those leaving post grad education produced separately from undergraduate figures? When you say graduates of universities get a discount do you mean graduates going on to study at postgraduate level at the university they graduated from are offered a discount?

The cost of university education is too high that is the problem.

Yes, employment is available on short contract work (up to a year) or/and on a self employment basis.

Real life work, in the business world at least, is very rarely as intellectually demanding as studying for a degree. I suspect even Said would grudgingly accept that I did a "proper" degree and that I do a "graduate" job. Nothing I have done in the workplace comes close to what you needed for advanced paper essays and exams, intellectually speaking.

Then if you took your degree some years ago, you will understand that students undertaking degrees have a need for challenging work even if it does not address the course that was undertaken, work that does require people who can actually 'think' for themselves. To be given work that any kid can do is very depressing and demoralising, and even more so, to discover that your 'manager' is someone who is no more than a school leaver who hasn't got a clue what your work involves. This is what many graduates are facing today due to the fact that while in the EU companies were only concerned about cutting costs not competing in the workplace. If competition had been encouraged, then these graduates would be challenged by finding or inventing new concepts to the business.

I was going to apply to that too. I would start singing and then when the judges told me I was rubbish, I was going to say " I agree with you, so can I be a judge then?"
