in Debate House Prices & the Economy
I was just musing and wondered if anybody knew what percentage of recent graduates leave with arts as opposed to science based degrees.

    There is a table on this site.

    It may require the use of a calculator to work out the percentage bit.

    You are obviously a graduate.

    I'm still waiting for ILW to work it out and express some all encompassing reason for the way things are.
    Have I jumped the gun and misplaced my hopes for an explanation as to why things go wrong when you can't employ those who have degrees?

    I was just hoping that someone had the answer.

    What type of degrees would be most useful to the economy and should the most useful types be encouraged by say, reduced fees?

    Seems a fair question.

    I think the answer to growth in part is foreign languages.

    Selling is an art form requiring the understanding of the existing situation and results in an ongoing profitable economic/businesslike relationship for both parties. If you don't speak it you can't sell it.

    On the other hand why not see what Amazon can do ?
