Thanks to all of you who have emailed missing my blog for last few days - been traveling 6 countries in ten days. Lots to report but may take a week or so to collect my thoughts. Meanwhile, interesting titbit from the Guardian on Line.
The worth of a degree has fallen, they say, to £150000. I never did trust a lot of the research over the value of qualifications but my bet is that as learning becomes more important, the value of formal and non vocational qualifications will become less. As I keep promising, and seldom deliver - more on tis in a future entry.
"The financial value of a university degree has fallen sharply in the past decade as more graduates enter the job market, research shows.
The study by academics at the University of Swansea shows that graduates can now expect to earn £150,000 more over the course of their careers than those who do not go to university, rather than the £400,000 ministers claimed during the debate last year on university top-up fees, which will be introduced in September 2006. The National Union of Students said it was not surprised by the findings."
