I think there are some young people who would be better off without the pressure of needing to gain qualifications.
I believe those young people could and do make valuable contributions and they are often undervalued.
I'm not sure about some of todays qualifications and I don't like the practice of putting students on courses just to get bums on seats. That's part of the reason I gave up being a tutor.
Some selection processes don't do the student, their tutors, the institution or employers any favours.
Ironically I've never used my law degree for employment but I have used my other degrees. Indeed, I would not have been able to do the jobs I had without them.
Both DD's have relevant degrees but DD2 wanted to do an apprenticeship. At the time it was hard for girls to get an engineering apprenticeship so she did the degree.
Worked out OK for them, they use most of their qualifications in their jobs but isn't always the case.
I do feel sad for those in Debt who's qualifications don't equip them for paid employment.
I think we have a system now that does put too much pressure on young people to get qualifications. I'm not sure anyone is being well served but it is what it is until it changes - Again.
