Exactly. The government would like everyone to go to uni which is just plain stupid. I guess they only want to do it to make the unemployment figures a little less disasterous (in the short-term at least until the election) but that simply isn't the answer. We will always need plumbers, electricians, mechanics etc and they sure as hell don't want or need to go to uni. Of course the other side of it is that we're overrun with people with completely worthless degrees in art history, psychology and whatever other crap which they'll never use. However, as said, proper degrees in engineering, chemistry, physics, maths etc. will certainly help you get more interviews than if you have a degree in the 'growth of football in british culture including studies in David Beckham'... :facepalm:
