More student protests

[metalblue]

if not for better career prospects why did YOU choose to go to uni? anyway rest easy lad, as a physics graduate you are in one of the "better" fields and can expect to earn £190,000 more than a non-grad in the same field.

I chose to go to uni because I want to be remembered as somebody who helped humanity as a whole, not just our country, job satisfaction is much more important to me than money ever will be.

I'm unsure how exactly you can be a physicist without a degree these days, there are probably jobs in the same sector that don't require one, but you need the knowledge there from university to be a physicist. Maybe I will earn more like you say, but it's not always the case. Some people get paid peanuts to do jobs in the sciences, that's what they want to do though so you can only admire them.

Appreciate your comments though.

You staying on to do a PhD? what area you planning on doing your thesis in?

That's the problems with averages, some earn more, some less but governments don't tend to make choices for the individual, they look at the whole and on average grads earn more - so it makes sense for them to pay for the benefit.

80s deregulation of the financial markets certainly played its part.

agreed

Dis-agree. It was the de-regulation by the Labour party after the formation of the FSA in 1997 that played its part so don't talk boolocks and agree to things you have no idea about.

Okay then. Peter has to be robbed to pay Paul. So which resource do we suggest plays Peter.The NHS. Police. Local government such as elde rly care, schools, etc. because evidently we need to find a Peter.
An education for all is an absolute essential. Higher education as a right of passage without fee is not and cannot be sustained in this economic climate.

Best post of the thread.

Please explain ... Don't understand the comment

Peaceful protest doesn't appear to work any more, millions of people peacefully protested an illegal war yet their protests were ignored.

I'd be all for firebombing banks and police stations. Hanging piggies from town halls and leaving them to rot until the people have freedom, justice and equality.

You need a slap sometimes.

Who do you think ends up picking up the bill for these violent protests?

The fucking taxpayer. The fucking bill payers. Anyone that needs insurance and now has to pay an additional premium so these unwashed arseholes can complain about having to pay for something that they want to do, that will more than likely enable them to earn more in the future.

Fucking arseholes want shoeing.<br /><br />-- Thu Nov 25, 2010 2:05 pm --<br /><br />

You some sort of anarchist? Or Antichrist??

Nob is the word.

“An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all”.

John Socrates

Perhaps you ought to read and think about the quote you have posted and try and understand the true meaning.

Just to give you a clue, what you have failed to realize is that a university education IS obtained with money, be it the student's money or the taxpayer's and therefore, according to Socrates himself, is worse than no education at all.

And as you have attributed the quote to John Socrates, it's quite clear what kind of education you have in mind (do a Google search on the name and you'll see what I mean).

That's what I love, all the 'hard grafters' out there seem to spend more time on BM than bothering to practice what they preach.
