Just like the GCSEs, AS and A Levels, that now fill the minds of young people, who think that without them they are not REAL people...

Total Corporate Crap..


How disappointing I never knew that exams were all just corporate crap. Must be terrible for all those people who have wasted 5 years of their lives just to get educated in corporate crap. Ah well, at least I know now. must be true becuae it says so here...

To get back to the real world though I think that the main thing a degree does is proves a commtment to work and study prior to actualy doing it 'for real' as it were. It is very difficult to show that you have a commitment to or aptitude for something if it is something you have never done before. Anyone seeing that an individual has buckled down for 2 years A levels and 3 years degree work will be more inclined to invest the time to give them a further few years training to perform the life or death tasks that the medical profession requires.

Whther the degree is related or not to the profession can be academic (pun intended) as whatever the qualification is in does in fact prove a commitment that people without degrees may have but cannot prove.
