University of life

NOTHING exposes the idiocy of Tony Blair’s obsession with thousands of youngsters needlessly going to university more than the article about the apprentice doing well and the debt-ridden graduate (Mail).

Far too many do useless degrees and leave university unable to even write a simple business letter. It is time we trained youngsters to be a workforce for the country’s needs, not their own vanity. JAMES B. SINCLAIR,
