I'm not critiscising technical qualifications; what I meant was that a youngster can pay as much to go through a university education at one university as another but an employer will still pay more heed to an older, more established university when it comes to employing someone. There are exceptions, one being Nottingham Trent University; was on a parr with the best universities when it was a technical college and employers were very happy to take on its' graduates [most of which had had an incredibly good technical education due to the uni having such good links with industry].A lot of young people have got themselves in debt by doing obscure courses that won't help them find employment. I'm not knocking technical qualifications; far from it, I despair of the fact that we seem to have a nation of accountants. Sorry; not making much sense, am I..long morning at work; brain frazzled!
How much do you spend on yourself?
