too many people go to uni thinking they will come out and walk into a job,

people who go to uni for a reason, i.e. professional degree- law, medicine, etc, are doing something worthwhile and of benefit to society. People who go and study psychology, art, etc are not going to benefit society at all. they will spend 4 years, pissed, ripped to the tits on drugs, gain a lifetime of debt and then moan about it. Now that does not sound like fun to me. They should show some ambition and do something useful.
