    Actually I think its back door privatisation they are after.

    £9,000 = 90 full days of training with many commercial training suppliers once you negotiate, they even make a profit with class sizes of 20.

    So an Academic year would be how many FULL days face to face tuition at what contention ratio?

    McDonalds and now some publishing house will be offering degrees on the cheap. It'll just extend this way.

    Looks like the next generation of IT grads will be from PCWorld University.

    ...indeed not only you got a decent grant from the state, you could also "bum" around on the dole in the Summer.

    Just checking fees for Bachelors, Masters and PhD's ...if you go that route it'll cost you same as a terraced house.

    ...and then you won't be able to afford the terraced house.

    Fees really have sky rocketed.

    The time after that and before the current mess is preferable. If you got good 'A' levels (when they were hard) you could do degree for free, and even be given pocket money from the state. Even then people turned them down.

    If school were so bad, why would they teach you it is so good at school? Boomed.

    From the Mash

    Professor Henry Brubaker, director of the Institute for Studies and a long time campaigner for the abolition of universities, said: "Hospitals can train doctors, law firms can train lawyers, journalists can be trained by children and sociologists can train themselves by watching television for six hours a day.

    "The vast majority of 'careers' are complete bulltulip anyway. Sending people to university just means you get pointless, bulltulip jobs being done by someone who has spent three years and thirty grand turning themselves into an arse."
