many useless arts degrees, totally failed economic models, totally fraudulent climate models and now hopelessly failed Coronavirus modelling. Maybe we just ain't that smart pouring money into hotbeds of Marxism.

Chris would you please explain how much your 7 year of games with the university sector cost the public.

Would you then please tell us just what we are now getting in return for funding your games

With any luck the virus just might cause a complete failure of the current system to be replaced by a student fully funded system, that leaves the poor bloody tax payer out of the loop.

It might also spare us the hundreds of so called experts, mostly yabbering idiots, filling our radio waves & TV screens.

Chris Lewis,

Arts (or humanities if you prefer) is and has always been the heart of a university. The basic degree in medieval universities was the Bachelor of Arts, followed by a Master of Arts awarded for completion of seven years study.

I separate degrees into two areas: scholarly degrees and vocational degrees. Scholarly degrees cover the Arts and the Sciences, which people study to discover the world in which they live, regardless of whether it will provide them with a livelihood.

Vocational degrees are the work-related degrees like engineering, architecture, law, medicine, accountancy, teaching, etc., which train people to perform functions required by a society such as healing the sick, building roads, educating children, etc.

Most people of course do vocational degrees because they want to earn a livelihood which will allow them to marry, have a family, build a house, and have a comfortable life. I started out with an engineering degree because I wanted to make some money. But later I decided to pursue the Arts because I also wanted to be smart.

Some of the most stupid people I had come in contact with were also some of the most educated & vice versa !
The former have cost the taxpayer millions in money & time wasted & opportunities denied for others ! Education for Education's has resulted in exactly the opposite of what's desired !

individual,

You probably think that way because you are just a worker.

just a worker.
Mr Opinion,
Yes, one who frequently solved the problems that the educated couldn't !
Only basic education & two Trades.
