Useless degrees

while i agree, i think one of the main reasons students become so lazy is because there is so, so little work. i really felt that my degree course could have been condensed into two years work very easily. i use to be in lectures and seminars for something like 7/8 hours a week. (i don't understand how this sets anyone up for the 'real world') you can pretend that students make up a lot in their own time reading, but i think everyone including university staff know this isn't the case. unis seem to be becoming more and more of a money making exercise (like someone has already said look how much they charge foreign students) and i think there is a very real chance that we'll see american style college fees within a couple of decades

If you choose not to do the reading you can't really complain when there isn't enough to do.
