When a tradesman had City & Guilds following an apprenticeship, it was a great qualification. My brother is a time served tool maker.

I said engineering & construction which would include welders & brickies.

I inferred that some degrees were worthless. There's a huge difference. In my 'world' we need a variety of workers not just intellectuals.

I haven't been dismissive as you have interpreted it, but said that many jobs don't need degrees. Some of the youngsters that I worked with said to me, that although they enjoyed their time at Uni, they wished they had gone out to work at 18 instead.

Patronising. I thought better of you.

There are still vacancies advertised. Barrel of Fun, not everyone can be a civil engineer or architect. I didn't think you were such a snob looking down your nose at manual workers.

Rent a mob.

A lot of degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on. When I was working, the youngsters coming in had degrees, but were doing the same job as me, who left school at 16. We need apprenctices for manual, practical jobs, engineering & construction. We need firefighters, coastguards & police.
