We don need no educashun....?

[Taunton Blue Genie]

you used to be able to leave school with very little in the way of qualifications and get a career that would still allow you to live well.
these days those jobs are much rarer. low paying jobs these days don't even pay enough to live on, companies rely on governments to top up their wages to something a person can survive on.
if is essentially a tax rebate for businesses that is masquerading as a handout to the poor.

Jobs that used to require applicants to merely have 'O' levels seem to require degrees these days.
By the time someone starts a job after uni these days many of us (although not me personally) had already bought a property courtesy of a mortgage on a reasonably priced house.
