i agree with the student fee rises, as like you have said there are so many people that are just going and doing nothing degrees and then getting a job afterwards that pays very little and is nothing to do with what they studied as it turns out there isnt a demand for that person.
i went to college and have done ok through it and have worked my arse off from leaving school.
i also think that some of the students should try and use some brainpower and think "i want to do this, so i will try and get a job with a company that will sponsor me through my course and help with fees", even if it meant them starting off doing the odd day work during A-levels
i may be well off the mark and sometimes stuff in my head seems right until my fingers hit the keyboard.
also think they should consider bumping it up a little more after the recent scenes of trouble just to wind them up more and see how many more try and get there faces in the national news for the wrong reasons
