Thunder Bolt was inferring that degrees were worthless. She then went on to mention various industries. I was simply pointing out that her world is not the real world.

Where have I professed to being a snob, Yorkie? 50% of my working career has been in low paid manual jobs. I dislike that aversion you suggested. You have completely misinterpreted and misrepresented my views. If anything, you have shown yourself to be a bigot in your posts and dismissive...

I'm not rattled in the slightest. I couldn't be less relaxed. It's half term and I'm only working for three days, although today was a challenging one.

Imagine the construction and engineering industry without further learning? Ha ha!

We're desperately short on the professions you mention? I'm sure I read that the police were making cuts for a start. They were probably doing the same job as you, but they didn't need to invest 20 odd years of service (you didn't specify). The coastguards I know, including my brother in law...

Ha. We're on to punctuation? wellquickwoody was my comma, as adding a comma would have ****ed up the tag. You don't even need to have passed your SATS to understand my post.

I never had you down as an elitist wellquickwoody only those with the ability or aptitude should pay back vast sums for the education. Whether or not you agree with the system, employers demand more from applicants. University graduates tend to show more than an 18 year old, fresh out of...

Not everyone whom takes on a debt of further education believes they deserve a top job. You are speaking for many, many thousands and ill informed on the matter.

The only nurses I know went to university. The poster in question was suggesting that all students were scroungers and tax dodgers. You do need a degree to get on the ladder. There is no denying that. Is the system broken? There are more eligible candidates than ever, so of course a...

You tend to need a degree to take on something like teaching. Is that a pointless occupation? Both tourism and drama are worth billions to the world economy. Are they worthless? She is actually studying music. Presumably a subject gauged as worthless by you.

There's nothing more we can learn. We're experts at covering our tracks. Deaths are needless, right? Da.

Why would they not want to protest? Their ideal is that austerity is cutting basic and essential services to the most needy, whilst the super rich increase their fortunes. Why would their stand point change?

The quoted girl is a student. You do realise that vital workers have to go through university, don't you? Besides which, students spend money and support a large base of employment - universities don't run for free.

EDIT: Not entirely relevant to the OP.

1990 onwards for me - Ben Roberts.

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing. There seem to be decent quality videos from all grounds. It does puzzle me why there is not an 'At the County Championship' style programme akin to Rugby Special.

I hope that wasn't a snide reference to his lady friend. Shame on you. Shame. On. You.

I saw him in the Drove Way Tesco not so long ago and his card wouldn't work. Presumably the cup final money has dried up.

Star of the board.

Ugh. Why should their schooling have anything to do with being picked? I've got a brilliant idea. Why not get the paupers playing cricket and stop selling off land that would act as a cricket field.
