Back when the UK was exporting more than it was importing, about 5% of school leavers went to universities. Now we are importing much more than we are exporting and about 50% of school leavers are going into higher education. Hardly anyone is employed in a wealth-producing capacity and personal expectations are coaxed ever higher with the consumerism which is supposedly 'helping the economy'. No wonder we're up Shit Creek.

Someone should explain that to the students..
