UNI Rant

[Grant]

What makes a uni student better at my job than me?

game...

What job do you do exactly? Personally, certain managerial roles are for degree students.

again, niall, degrees aren't just a piece of paper.

One example - An engineering officer through the forces requires a specialist or BSc degreee - this demonstrates dedication, organisational and competency. There is no way in saying that these skills are not in the labour force within the company, and you can work up to that position by all means, but that officer does NOT need to know how to do a job which he/she is managing. There is no need - that higher role is to organise staff roles, requirements and moral.

IF that higher position needs to know any details on that job, he/she can ask the labour force for those details in assisting managing time keeping and role assigning.

again, referring to your point earlier, there needs to be a variety - for a manager to be a specialist in the field they are managing, would only be a waste - their skills being sat behind a desk?? pointless..

You've got some front posting that on a public forum. A rather ambiguous statement, but the way I read that, you are insinuating that if you don't go to university you are uneducated and not worthy of a job that bears responsibility or big decisions.
I don't disagree with university, and I'm not saying that it's not worth the time, but to say what you have is close to the line mate. I don't have a degree, but I'm qualified within my trade, and deem myself no less competent than somebody with a degree. I might not have a peice of paper saying degree on it, but I could build a house out of the ground, wire it in, plumb it in and decorate it. All life skills I've picked up in my trade. The majority of the people I know at uni can't even gut up on time for lectures.


Like I say an ambiguous statement, but that's how it read to me.
