    Perhaps we agree.

    A diplomat's view: "Could there be in inverse correlation with the amonut of time spent studying as evidenced by the lack of success of economic policy compared to the great strides made in other fields?"

    A miserable old sod's view: "With only two bl00dy lectures a week, these b@stards have got too much time to hump like rabbits."

    Well, I'm not sure when the survey was taken. If, say, it was at the very end of the 2011/12 academic year then I suppose that about one third of respondents would be first years, i.e. would only have been at university for about 9 months.


    I think the figures are since Monday.:D
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    Quite a lot, actually.

    It reminds us all that if an economics graduate moves into your street, you can kiss goodbye to the value of your own house.
