That's kind of what I mean.
University is not practical, it's not somewhere you go to acquire skills for the job market.
They have plenty of technical courses that are incredibly cheaper and will get people employed in no time. If that's what they're looking for, a career and employment, I'd say it's a much better idea.
One of my friends left university and spent two years trying to get a decent job. He signed up for a week learning IT shit and got himself a high paid job in two weeks. Supply and demand. The business studies people are treating university like a technical course, when it should be an academic environment where knowledge is preserved and researched?
The problem starts when a BA becomes a requirement for ANY kind of job. So people who don't even want to study see themselves forced to go to university and get in debt, and it usually doesn't pay off. Not only that but these are people who think not going is not even a choice, and to be frank just steal everyone's time and dumb down the entire thing for those who actually wanna learn.
People are treating it like a free ride, and you often hear people say "I'll study humanities because it's easier". That isn't fair on us, the minority who actually give a shit about what we would supposedly learn.
I've finally learnt that a degree means nothing without the right experience and contacts. It's just kind of a requirement.
But when it becomes a requirement for working in telemarketing you just see all these really shit institutions who will accept anyone willing to sign their name and pay the tuition fees. And that means a degree will mean even less.
