One is life and death, and we simply can't get enough through to get to terms with the need. There is no working double time at weekends for the Surgeon, no timetable of cardiac events. It's apples and pears, and I reckon you probably know that.

And some are suited to the very high levels of education, but not all. I want a cardiologist to keep me going until BMD, I don’t want that fella to be the welder (having a go at medicine) making the cardiologist’s life easier. Uni doesn’t need to be for everyone
No one said it did. Where's the crisis and the 7+ year backlog?
Sorry not sure about the question. More brandy has gone down now like
Who's on for some tory vilification tomorrow @Mr. White ?
100% right in what your saying.
Some of the sites i go on now has a mixture of people in late 50's and older and then kids.
Big generation miss of engineers.
The technically-minded people in that generation were all told to go into Computing rather than Engineering.
And still there is a dearth of adequate computer programmers able to fulfill the cyber threat dept to keep gchq stocked with person power.
Almost like a generation was lost on a wild goose chase...
You're a parody account, right?
Y'know my old man actively encouraged me to not do an apprenticeship in anything skilled manual/a trade. He was a bit bitter after seeing industry go in the 80s under Thatcher and being made redundant and ending up never working again (health matters played a role in that longer term).
It feels a bit full circle now when thers huge skill shortages. I completely agree with you though - encourage kids to follow interests, what they're good at and their own path. My wife thinks I'm nuts because I say I wouldn't be arsed if we had kids that they didn't go to uni. Up to them. My life and career changed from going, but it's not for everyone and shouldn't be.
Another of the brightest and best who went to uni in the glory days of 20+ years ago...
green party activist? (by that scarf...)
She wouldn't know. She was told it'd make her popular/money.
Shouldda tried selling submarines and ak47's and mines to exploited countries then....
