"80% of the people at universities are wasting their time and taxpayers' money."
You hit the nail right on the head.

Yes far too many lawyers.

Prices only go down when markets are deregulated in right wing economic texts books.

Broken ideology and clinically flawed policy, which as shown in the American model we seem to ape, has only succeeded if at all, in hugely amplifying the dropout rate and student indebtedness! That is the only unedifying result of such practice/management model

Galloping Gazelles and Corporate psychos, whatever happened to, if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Seriously, if we just one REAL LEADER with JFK's vision and his testicular fortitude/sense of inherent decency and inculcated fair play, we'd wipe the Cheshire Cat grin and wind back all subsidies on subsidized super, subsided health insurance,; plus end all completely counterproductive negative gearing, and make public health and education a means tested entitlement?

And or, if we just had the good common sense to replace our loophole riddled, convoluted, complex tax system, with more holes than Swiss cheese, with a single, stand alone, entirely unavoidable expenditure tax!?

Which would also likely mean, we'd become the lowest taxing nation, with the fairest tax system in the world!?

That being so, and with all the previous tax loopholes slammed shut, there'd be more than enough money to provide a far better means tested tertiary education model; that simply focuses on enabling our best and brightest, (and our future) rather than the insatiable Shylocks of this world; or moribund muddlers, seeking only to preserve pyned for privilege above all else!?

And where actually successful; i.e., only ever added to the almost incomprehensible WW1, death toll!

Knighthood and privilege used to be eternally entwined, until it was abolished in King Arthur's Camelot, to be replaced by excellence!

If management teaches just one thing, it teaches there is always a better way!

Big Nana, $100,000.00 degrees are all too common in the land of the dollar bill!

And given our dollar is worth less than our USA counterpart, which we seem to be aping, our degrees might even cost considerably more; but particularly, when competing for limited places, fortunate foreign students are placed in the queue and competing with our own for paid for places.

And given that free competition model, as already reported, are also able to purchase mandatory study time, examination results, passes and degrees!?

Which has resulted to reported cases, where completely inept medical clinicians i.e., have been allowed to practice, with neither adequate english skills or indeed, anything remotely like clinical expertise, such as one might have expected when nursing apprenticeships and on the job training was all the go!?

If we're to ape the hugely inferior free market American model, which costs 13+% of the GNP; which nonetheless, leaves 30% or more uninsured and unable to get health procuring treatment in a timely and usually less costly manner, we will suffer!

In very fair comparison, our universal health care model, costs around 8% of our GNP; at least for the moment.

This failure in the free market American system, which has only resulted in real terms, in more dropouts and seriously more student debt, probably also explains why their medicine costs so much more!

And even then, leaves millions untreated, even for simple things like elementary dental care. Which left untreated invariably results in much more penny wise pound foolish medical care!

I respect your usually informed views Big Nana, I however, would respect them more on this occasion, if they were also fully informed by the comparable facts!

Rhosty, you totally lost me, I honestly have no idea what to make of that post.
