University fees Page 16

It's really easy...youre just suffering from a bout of lack of confidence. The Wayne Rooney of self-appointed gurus.....

Here's a pep-talk

1. Lurk the site until you find a 'victim' for your pious comments
2. Post pious comment
3. Sit back in your executive chair and watch yourself on your webcam - perfecting your 'arent I a smug bastard?' grin.

C'mon...you can do it.....

I think you can expect a link to a dictionary, or a copy and paste here Mr P.

Just guessing...

After reading this, my eyes have opened to the vast conspiracy designed to steal my monies. Clearly I should drop out of school, because the businesses are being silly with demanding a basic understanding of the subject before hiring. All I need is some on the job training.

I love Juan Kerr.

There should be more people like him on BCG. <3

Depends rather on what you are studying and what you end up doing. I did a degree which has nothing to do with the job I hold down, which I learnt by doing it, and I am still learning every day.

I could kid myself that I "learnt how to think" at Uni, but I have colleagues who did not go to Uni who nonetheless seem perfectably capable of thinking, and I have colleagues with degrees (often in relevant subjects, such as economics) whose lack of insight and commonsense never ceases to astound me.

If I was an employer I would be less concerned with whether an employee had a basic understanding of the subject when I took him on than whether he was capable of acquiring an advanced understanding further down the line.

But since most recruiting these days is done by specialists in recruitment (i.e. people with no real understanding of the businesses they are recruiting for), then if you know what you want to do you are probably doing the correct thing in studying for a degree that ticks the right box and makes it simple for them.

You know what, amongst all of the red faces and back biting this thread seems to eb creating, we should all take a moment to appeciate how good the following post was:

Not to mention a whole lot of misunderstanding of the term "Darwinism".

Why thank you Miss Wicks. That's three this century.

England is short on dough. University fees could be raised. Some degrees are bullshit, leaving people qualified only for jobs that don't produce anything of value. But not my degree or my girlfriend's degree. Mark P may not be the Fonz.
