Thanks for the sweeping generalisation from all of us Brits. I'm assuming you come from somewhere much more civilised and intelligent.

Getting a degree. Yes it is expensive, but to get a good job, you need to demonstrate that you have the right stuff.

Or... Learn to work with your head and hands. Someones gotta keep the toilets flushing, the roofs shingled... Nothing wrong with a trade. We've placed -way- too much weight on that 'degree' IMO. There's not much you can learn in college that can't be outsourced. Tough to outsource a good electrician.

I agree 100%. Far too much emphasis on degree's over here. I agree education should be available and accessible to all, but vocational qualifications and apprenticeships should also be championed.

There are plenty of plumbers, electricians, builders, carpenters/joiners, brickies on unemployment in the UK right now.
I wish I could organise them and put them to work doing charitable causes like fixing dilapidated buildings for the homeless. But that would be too easy.
A fair amount of these unemployed tradesmen are going into further education. Which I think is a good idea until the economy improves.
But I do agree with your comment, and it is a shame that these tradesmen cannot be deployed to work on project for their city. But there is no money, especially here in the UK.
