I'm probably wrong, and being very unfair, but I always get the vibe that a university course ending in 'studies' must be mickey mouse.Comment

Originally posted by Robinho View PostAre you suggesting that the monetory base has increase ninefold recently and that when the velocity of money reaches previous levels inflation will go through the roof?
The method to deal with this is print more money which of course is happening all the time and that is why your money can buy 2 or 3 times fewer things than 10 years ago. This ( you getting poorer ) will continue indefinitely until the current riots throughout EU reach civil-war level. At that time there will be either a revolution(iceland) or military control(likely).Last edited by stevejohnson; 16 October 2012, 21:45.Comment

I thought the m0 was less than 3% these days.
I know the m4 has retracted and we're printing money to fill the void.
I was thinking about buying silver as gold has gone silly prices but you have to pay VAT here, though i guess gold will still keep going up.Comment

I was gonna say... How do you know they haven't a degree in social care or are looking to get into medicine or something related?
My wife is a trained solicitor, a degree and two masters. She packed it in to become a doctor, did a number of very low paid jobs in care homes, council support groups etc.. It is very common, in fact many jobs have quite a lot of competition from people because the experience is so valuable when it comes to applying for medicine.
From your list, nursing, childhood studies and psychology are 4 people who are clearly aiming for a related career.
Also I don't see the problem. Degrees were never a automatic and instantaneous wage increase, despite what some people say or think. There is nothing wrong with starting at the bottom rung.Comment

Basically if the whole economy was 10 people and they all went to the bank right now and asked all for their money , only 1 can get it. The rest doesn't exist.
