not sure, but most of my sons friends are in Uni doing media studies, History and fabric design, so possibly not?!!

I really hope my daughter will have a bit mores sense and do something more vocational. What a complete waste of time and money !

Meh...

I'm still eagerly awaiting news of the top-secret massive new oil fields the Yes campaign promised us were being hidden until after the Scottish referendum.

Rather suspect we'll both be disappointed.;)

I think this is part of the problem. We have encouraged so many people to go to uni but not incentivised them to do the things that matter to the economy. We should be making it less expensive to study things like mathematics, physics IT and engineering.

the best way of incentivising people to do jobs is to pay them well.
engineers are not very well paid in the UK
maths and physics are only well paid if they go into banking
