Which is better.?

Question

I am currently on an apprenticeship which is great as i get both experience and the theroy at the same time. which will make it easier to get a job.

But what i dont understand is why do UNI students look down on us as tho we are under qualified just because we dont go to university, as we can in our third year, but we choose not to as we will find it hard going to uni and still working full time.

I have met a lot of uni students that have got the qualifications in uni but when they left uni they couldn't get a job in their chosen area, due to having no experience. but they still treat us apprentices like were not as qualified as them, even tho we probably are more qualified.

my boyfriend has a friend who has dropped out of uni to do an apprenticeship, which shows apprenticeships arn't that bad surely. Can you tell me why people have these views? and what are your views on this subject?

I have been doing an apprenticeship in Somerset County Council for a year and half now, and nearly 2 thirds qualified. with experience in the area i am studying in as well.

good thing is we dont have no debts at the end of it as the government gets funding for each apprentice.

Answer 1

Graduates are members of an exclusive club. Chances are they have paid a small fortune to get that degree.

So they look down on anyone who isn't part of their elitist clique. The biggest part of working with ANY recent university graduate, is showing them just how ignorant they really are.


It can be kinda fun, too ;)

Answer 2

uni graduates are becoming common place....it is not the elitist group it used to be....hence all the goverment initiatives to encourage apprenticships. look down your nose at them mate as most will be doing some silly obscure degree and it will qualify them for nothing...you will be half way up the ladder when they are just starting on the bottom rung and they will have a massive debt...now whos the clever one!!

Answer 3

i work with people who have degrees and doing the same job as me as there are no jobs out there i say to everyone get an apprentiship as my brother is a mechanic and has been in work for 30 yrs not bad going now a days not can be said the same for people with degrees

some stable-byes are the longest ever popular, And now i think of on ------------are all Byes "stable" i'm now tempted to post a poem wrote in 1997, possibly i will-------- it somewhat is an exciting learn on the word and takes my techniques to many places, ever in ask your self who pronounced the 1st stable- bye, and the cousin words to stable-bye, farewell, adieu, etc. Horizions do look ahead to, Kudos! on a deep subject with in basic terms a word!
