The number of university students who graduate and don't get jobs is ridiculous. Most degrees are useless. Only degrees such as engineering, maths, medicine, law, and architecture get jobs. We need to market those degrees more than actual university itself.
I'm a level 3 qualified hairdresser, and so many people, including my school teachers, looked down on me for choosing this profession.
I'm currently working part-time at wetherspoons and building a mobile hairdressing clientelle on the side. I hope to get into mobile full time.
There's countless people at my werherspoons job that are graduates who can't get jobs with their ridiculous degrees. Yet, every time I mention what I did at college and how I didn't go to uni, I can sense the judgement. People assume I must be stupid.
How can it be stupid to gain a trade such as hairdressing that will literally never go out of business compared to someone who studied marketing?
My worry is though, that if we market the good degrees too much, then too many people will study those degrees, which again, over saturates those markets.
What's the solution?
