It's all lies!

[Ionic & Schizo]

Dunno how it is in the rest of the world, but in the UK, to sell the idea that going to Uni is such a great idea, the goverment, teachers and universities themselves keep telling us that when we graduate we'll ALL get great jobs with 5 figure salaries etc.

Well it's all lies! (almost):

But (of course) Uni's about a lot mor than just the pay packet for yer job.

For some places you need grades to get experience.

in the uk u go to uni to get drunk and in debt

well since i'm in the university for about 10 years ;) i got drunk and in debt ;) but i also worked for 5 years while "studying"

it depends on the type of job and the wages , if you have the uni diploma you tend to earn more , but from my experience ( i got the job cos i had more experience ( lying helped ;) ) and i got the job while the 10 persons who were there with the uni diploma got home without the job
