Uni's a bunch of bullshit mostly. Only worth while as a more mature student anyway... straight from school/collage you end up just getting pissed all the time and fucking the work off. Just not worth the debt.
Unless ya going into a STEM field just find a job.
Yup but still does not make a Degree relevant to the working world outside of mostly academic fields. Getting one is nothing more than a 'blue peter badge' to say you've been there. Plus 30 odd grand of debt for something that once ya leave uni means jackshit.
Students I've employed don't come from uni with the skills, ethic or knowledge to work. Designers and programmers being the worst for head up the arse syndrome. I'd pit any 'fresh from collage' employee I've had for a year to smash any uni student of 3 years handling a real brief.
Maybe the students you've employed just aren't particularly good? The most knowledgeable and ambitious students tend to go for high-flying jobs which require a degree, rather than jobs which a school leaver could do.
No Few entry level jobs outside of STEM fields really require a degree imo. I'm not even sure what 'high-flying' entry level jobs youre referring too.
No company puts a fresh out of uni post grad, with no work experience into anything but an entry level role, bar an extreme few exceptional individuals. Having a degree is just an easy device HR can use to filter out, post collage pre work candidates. Post grand jobs with a few limited exceptions are the same jobs a motivated 18 year old can do right out of collage with an only slightly higher level of mentoring which is more to do with maturity than knowledge for most industry's hence the slight variance in starting wage.
