no, i think filly, like you, is just rambling meaninglessly because he doesn't understand what he wants to talk about.

Totally agree...
Got a degree (when it costed nothing), but the most valued bit over my years in the real world was gleaned from the practical education in a 'tech college' module ...
Sadly now education is big business, and academic 'skills' are replacing on the job knowledge...
In many other European countries they seem to have got the balance a bit better, and education is more of a right and a benefit to a country. Not seen as a 'cash cow' mentality that exists in the UK!
It's going to come back and bite the UK in the bum big time, especially with what is looming shortly!
My experience of other countries is that they value proper skilled engineers much better than we do in the UK. There is simply a much higher level of respect for them.

Agreed; our building industry is shocking mainly because the lack of skilled engineers, and regulation.

Why is that?
I actually don't know.....neo liberalism where we flog everything off for a quick buck, perhaps
Maybe it's because money is made faster by wealth destruction than creation.
Who would be an engineer when a hedge fund manager can be made a millionaire in a day.
Maybe it's because universities are now businesses so people are encouraged to do academic courses rather than practical.
I think blue collar workers are undervalued.
Tradesmen for example, electricians, carpenters, builders, heating engineers - all require high levels of skill and knowledge, all I would say equivalent to a degree.

local authorities approving and signing off rubbish. promoting the use of cheap modern short life alternatives that look and perform dreadfully in no time.
and no doubt taking their backhanders from the construction companies .

Maybe, but we'll probably get them from China or pay more for US products as part of some awesome trade deal.
Overpaid smug tossas who sneer from behind their desks?

A country led by a posh boy with a second-class classics degree, and a cabinet packed with his chums, does not demonstrate a grasp of industry and commerce.
It goes way further back than that.
