gimpy, If I do an engineering degree then I do engineering classes. We don't have the system where you have to do something like music apprecation as a module of an engineering course, thank *******.
What we have here are the previous techy colleges now become unis offering these strange courses such as media studies that seem very vague.
OK I did Russian studies which some might see as a pointless degree and I haven't had a chance to use it in my current employment though I could have joined various organisations in government or other areas.
The problem is every employer requires some sort of higher qualification or so it seems therefore we have some odd degrees. Gone are the days of good vocational courses and apprentiships. Doesn't help that we don't manufacture much anymore.
I at the moment am studying an HNC in electrical engineering part time and in september next year I want to start the degree course also part time. It's not easy to find that high paying job and I think it is often a false assumption that graduates are going to always earn the big money.
