I've got 15 PhDs from tulipe Creek College, Nevada.

Didn't do me no good...

Are they still alive or have you eaten any of them yet?

You don't stay there!

Year or two, move on with all that knowledge you've gained to something decent.

That's what I said

But as a career choice

if it puts bread on the table until something better comes along, or gives you a chance to improve your skills over the short term it's a goer.

Good job for a new grad, living cheap in digs or back with the old folks. First rung of the ladder and all. Looks like you'll learn a lot in a year or two.

Only poor people work and the little people pay taxes.

The govt. want 50%+ of school leavers to waste years of their young lives going to uni

Better that than waste their young lives in the workplace staring at computer screens waiting for 5:30. University is not only for gaining vocational qualifications.

If you had a 'degree' in something like Meeja Studies and were only ever going to be Contact Centre / Telesales / Recruitment Agent material anyway, this isn't such a bad job.

who in their tiny mind is going to apply for this

That is the whole point. They have fulfilled their requirements of trying to hire a British person and, surprise surprise, they could not find anyone. Now they can easily get someone in on a work permit.

Send it to your MP as an example of the dirty tricks these fraudsters get up to. Not that it will help.

So that's where Sasguru went!

The govt. want 50%+ of school leavers to waste years of their young lives going to uni, and getting into debt - to get a degree in God knows what.

Degrees are tomorrows chip paper.

There was an article in the Telegraph this week which seems to support this view.

It states employers (Blue-chips) are turning more towards psychometric testing as part of their selection process as they have lost faith in university degrees.

[Old Greg]

Do people think it will give them a foot in the door (what door?)? Will it?

I'm not a techie so do not understand this world.
