Which benefits the economy because then people will want to buy the stupid hair gel that their soccer idol is flogging because some marketer/manager is exploiting his public persona/appearance which is shaped by the marketers and the managers.
It doesn't because there is no such thing, although you do seem to have fascination with the idea :p :Quote:

Given that the courses are going to be charged per year it will be the longer courses such as medicine and engineering that will most likely see a drop in interest. Since a medical degree will cost up to 54k purely for the course itself, not to mention the extra living and travelling expenses that such a degree entails, its safe to say that poorer students will be discouraged from applying. Instead we'll see a move back to how things were before with merely the already well off being able to contemplate studying medicine.Quote:

In fact I foresee an increase in the number of 'useless' courses you describe, after all they are far cheaper for the universities to run and are therefore more profitable as well as being more affordable for students.
I have had my strident disagreements with ioan on these forums over the years, but in this instance his contributions are worth defending, being as they are intelligent, well-reasoned and, I think everyone should agree, extraordinarily well-written for someone whose first language is not English. Indeed, the quality of his written English, and indeed that of many other mainland European members, puts that of many English native speakers to shame.Quote:
