Well Paul M I always planned on doing something with my degree...I just think that there are many things that people might like to be doing, like learning proper trades, apprenticeships and the like, but there's a stigma attached to them now cos they're deemed to be "no brainer" jobs.

The government has put so much emphasis on university education at the expense of other things. A balance needs to be struck you know...

And society will always need dishwashers and if i was unemployed and that's what it took to get me back on my feet and back into society then i'd do it.

christ i worked as a skivvy for Celtic Football Club long enough!

I know some people have problems and yes they should be sorted out, but not at the expense of society as a whole.

Why should inmates of prisons get free education, yet a kid has to pay?

Why should alcoholics get extra money in their benefits?

I'm sorry, but it's just not right and there's a lot of people much older than me who have the same views....

Murray, where you from in the US and I might consider it??!!

But then you guys don't have a welfare state at all really and that's something i don't agree with...

And "sorry for stating the obvious"..if everyone tried to sort out a bit of what was around them then the world might actually get its shit together. Charity begins at home...Afghanistan is not my immediate problem though I'd do what I can to help, but sorting out the people here is my first priority...
