Over educated ?
There is a big hoo-haaah on the news tonight as our children seem to have fallen " behind " in the education statistics compared to Asia . All this after our national obsession for education . Are we wasting our time getting so aerated about educating our children to the highest degree humanly possible ?
A higher level of education is presented as a sure fire way to boost our country's economy . After all brighter people will boost our economy . Right ? WRONG ! When our economy and country have been driven so far into a deficit we shall NEVER get out of , you can educate our children until they are blue in the face , but our short sighted , spend anything to get re-elected politicians are pissing it all financially away and this is the REAL problem here . Education for educations sake or ego or fashion is a pointless jerk off exercise .
Most highly educated people work for the Government . They consume money or dispense funding . They don't "make " any new money . The same can be said for banks . People who make things are what we need in this country . Reducing imports will help our economy . We don't need more people doing sod all in ivory towers , we need people who will work , turn up for work and graft . Ask a company and they will tell you they are short of " ordinary " workers so they employ immigrants . They are NOT short of graduates ! I have yet to hear anyone on the news say ; " We are short of people with a University education ! "
This country is short of ordinary workers , run of the mill , left school at 16 type people to whom work is natural !!! In my day they were two a penny , today they are wasting away at sixth form for sixth forms sake . In a fucked economy I guess that's the only way now for them , but it wasn't always this way however....
