We have a shortage of craftsmen and labourers in this country because everyone thinks they need to go to uni. These jobs are being picked up by people from other countries but we still have a large number of unemployed people. Its a bit stupid and that is being kind.

I agree and think I made that point earlier in the thread.
There was something in one of the newspapers recently, to say that those children who aren't academically gifted should be allowed to leave school at 14 and take a job........where are these jobs that they want 14 year olds to do?
I think that somewhere along the way, the work ethic has been lost.
Welfare benefits are to blame for this. It is(for some people) easier to claim benefits than to go out to work.
Whole families who have never worked,(and so have never paid into the system they are draining) and don't want to work, are crippling the country.
It may not be PC to say this, but that is how I see it.
