Studying anything, but particularly "the arts of living".....
Students should pay more to study - say the current law makers in Britain (not Scotland I hasten to add - we're independent).
Well - we ARE dealing with a Conservative Government,
Well - that is of course something that Socialists and Liberals can't accept, so the stage is set for battle Royale, and I'd like to set the ball rolling!
Let me say, first of all that I haven't got any political background or feelings - I only started to vote in Germany and France because it had to do with Europe!
I may not be the best qualified, but I do feel that in certain things OUTSIDE the Arts there is absolutely no doubt that certain Students should pay and pay lots for their studies, paid for mainly by us who are still studying the art of survival.
I think notably of DENTISTS - LAWYERS - BANKERS, in other words, the biggest bandits of the modern age.
I think that a Dentist should be obliged, before receiving his diplomas or whatever they give them, to serve a minimum of 4 years, satisfactorily - in a National Health Dental clinic, centre or hospital.
After that, he can disappear to the USA to make his millions, or take over daddie's high class Practice. That's what he does right now, anyway, but the taxpayer could at least profit for 4 years from his so called knowledge.
Bankers (students of finance and lots of other University taught themes) the same, but control them - severely!
The only reason I haven't put Doctor's and Nurses on the list is because I know they are one of the few who work like crazy - WHILST STUDYING!
So far as "The Arts" are concerned, I also feel that a willing Student should prove firstly, that he/she can survive. "Art" covers such a range of things, from the sublime to the absolute ridiculous, and these subject matters should be much more controlled.
But - where do you stop...?
Just how many qualified Engineers, Artists, Lawyers, Architects, and all the others can a Society need - and support, every year?
To have highly qualified Engineers who work in the local parks department, as litter collectors, was not the aim...!
I don't have the answer, all I know is - the system doesn't work at the moment, but it's costing a fortune, just like us Pensioners, and.....come to think of it, why is the subject "becoming a pensioner" not on any University's curriculum...?
It probably will be, once the influential readers of this Weblogsite have read this....!
When can I start....?
