It seems to be a sort of mental deficiency which I would once have adhered to and now thankfully am waking up from. <br /><br />(I have had Facebook arguments cut short by frayed tempers and the ever so condescending "we have different world views so it's not going to get solved") <br /><br />I must say your posts on this subject have been enlightening. I read them avidly. <br /><br />Please continue.Axelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498991095356433920.post-89708241103563202732010-12-07T19:28:16.785+00:002010-12-07T19:28:16.785+00:00This post (omitting the Aim Higher part) has prett...This post (omitting the Aim Higher part) has pretty much summed up what I have been saying to my younger sister's friends who want to go to university. One of them really annoyed me when she said "Well The Sun's close source said...". Don't get me started on sources or close sources for that matter. Just a load of nonsense.<br /><br />I can't comment fully on the student fees as I had 2/3 of my degree paid for by the NHS so I cannot complain. I have come out with very little debt and have a career for life. My only worry is if people choose to take up a vocational degree (i.e nursing, social work etc) and the university does increase their fee to £9,000 then it will dramatically decrease numbers in the profession in the future. However, by the looks of it many higher education facilities are sticking at the £6,000 cap mark.<br /><br />I have to admit though I am kind of pleased the student fees have been increased. There are some people who do degrees in 'Anthropology' or 'Sociology' and I just think "Great! What are you going to do with it?" - higher education is exspensive and it needs to be to if it is going to gain a future workforce. But I'm sorry unless your're rich and find it that INSANELY interesting then 'Anthropology' or any 'ology' for that matter won't get you far unless you do other courses (which cost more money!). I kind of hope it acts as deterrent in some ways and reduces all this student debt.<br /><br />Speech over (sorry if I have gone off the subject a bit) . Have a lovely Tuesday evening =]Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248156007508374279noreply@blogger.com
