Foxy,

Universities should always be what universities were meant to be: places of learning. And not vocational training centres.

So let's make them what they should be by getting rid of the vocational degree programs like engineering, etc.

Clearly universities have been taking in people who are half-wits and, somehow, they end up graduating, or so they claim.

The mark of an educated person is that they will never go on and on and on and on about how educated they are, they just do what they have learnt to do. They have confidence in their abilities and expertise. End of.

FOULmouth,

Obviously something you have never had to worry about.

So why do you keep going on and on and on and on about people who have been able to qualify for a degree? Jealousy?

Are we discussing the purpose of life? The purpose of Money? The purpose of skills? The purpose of education? Most of the skills of life are learned before seven years of age, including how you handle money. Life itself is about developing character and relationships.The important part is how one gives time and industry to improve another's quality of life. The wisdom of application of one's skills is more important than just knowing.

My daughter has a couple of degrees in languages with first class honours from anu. My youngest youngest son is a doctor after doing another degree with first class honours. My other son has no degrees, earns more money and is by far the most rational of the three. Kinda says alot.

runner,

And what about you?
