Hillpig Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 That applies to Cameron as much as it does to anyone. Eton and Oxford, Bullingdon Club and bag-carrier to Norman Lamont whose mistakes Cameron saw at first hand in 1992. Oh I am not saying it is restricted to Labour. It is merely the fact that socialism is wrong and capitalism is right. Therefore to study (or be educated) by Labour politicians is evil and will lead to darkness cruelty and failure. To be educated by Tories leads to goodness, wholesomeness, truth, beauty and success. ---------- Post added 24-09-2013 at 17:15 ---------- You're setting yourself up to be called something that rhymes with banker with that one. ---------- Post added 24-09-2013 at 17:17 ---------- [/color] You're setting yourself up to be called something that rhymes with banker with that one. I omitted to say that I did get a first at Harvard on my work regarding the working of the wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I can't speak for them all but I studied at University of Sheffield, Imperial College London and Oriel College Oxford, the latter being the best IMO. A lot of the focus these days are seemingly on specific skill sets, which is fine for the present but can become obsolete over time and forgotten if not used regularly. I frequently talk to employers and whilst skills set can be advantageous they are often inflexible unless the graduates take it onto themselves to improve their knowledge and skills, which rarely happens. The last thing employers want are graduates who think they know it all and try to change their work practices, even if it makes money for the business. What employers want are people who are malleable and can be shaped into employer’s method of working. That’s why I believe universities should promote learning methods as well as skills and stop all that spoon-feeding rubbish which goes off. My kids have recently graduated and were "taught", if that's the correct word, different learning methods..obviously specific skill sets do need to be learned for many jobs/careers,it's no good rocking up on the first day as an engineering geologist saying..they never taught us anything about soil mechanics but I know how to teach myself...etcetc...horses for courses..by the way what did you study at Oriel?

Mister M Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I have A levels and a degree, thank you. I didn't say media studies was a humanities course. My point was that "soft" degrees such as media or humanities are too common when people should be doing science subjects, engineering and other solid subjects. What have you got your degree in HH?

Most scientists struggle to communicate effectively and would fail your "soft"options.What do you mean by a solid subject- a rather inexact term?

Happ Hazzard Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Maths, a Science subject, Engineering, Medicine, Industrial Arts... There is a place for Humanities graduates but not anywhere near the amount of them we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
