- Sky News host Rita Panahi says Australia has got “too many kids at universities” doing “junk degrees”.
Ms Panahi says they are being sold “false hope”.
“They’re leaving university with a big debt,” she said.
“It doesn’t actually help them achieve anything in terms of meaningful employment.
“Their job they end up doing bares no relation to the degree.”
Going to university used to be a great honour but now its a great shame
Not fascist enough?
I thought you were there to get a better job than being smashed up the clacker by builders. Now these kids are too qualified to work
Universities are where the Conservatives begin. Wake up.
But we need UNI trained fools to shows how to push a shovel 😁 😁

Canberra is Full of Politicians with Arts Degrees, the Blind Leading the Blind !
Some of them have Law degrees.
What about a degree in Gender Studies. Surely that is useful for society. Melbourne University does a degree in Gender Studies what a great way to waste three years of your life.
Three years staring at people's crotches and philosophising about the political ramifications... would turn anyone's brains into mush.
I think a female PhD student overseas did her thesis on "A feminist glaciology framework'. Yep - big chucks of ice and how they relate to feminism. Very useful study that one.
They give jobs to people who not have a degree for that role anyway, all useless.
Also does 'aboriginal studies'...learn the agenda so you to can protest.
Shame rhe lead academic spouts unsupported rubbish.
Or a degree in Taylor Swift
They should have gone to trade school instead.
...a sibling has three degrees and takes home less money than another with a TAFE plumbing certificate.
Now retired I laterally worked in vocational education which is a pathway to uni for related disciplines. Ex students said that they learned more in Cert 4 that takes6-9 months than they did after 3 years uni! By the same token I had uni graduates in my classes saying the same thing!
its not just about money, choose subjects wisely and uni prepares you for life
They'd lack the necessary ability.
@@johngoogle8635Exactly.
Like political science and economics.....they spend years studying economics and we still end up broke,they spend years studying politics and we still end up with dishonest fools in parliament ,
😂😂😂😂🎯
That's because they are taught by leftist professors who aren't interested in teaching actual economics. Instead they teach failed socialist doctrine.
In a nut shell....
Well this will just make it harder for the rest of us, meanwhile they just get taught to hate and protest more. So in another words nothing for the worker.
At my wife's PhD Melbourne Uni graduation, hundreds of student's got "Graphic Arts"Bachelor or Masters degrees in the most incredibly useless "subjests", like "Moveable Objects" (puppetry)! Didn't even know what the rest were about.
Kids learn to make puppets in primary schools.
😮😢😢
Just need to go to tafe for that, but taaf does not give the courses that's best either or u have to move to a tafe that has the course, thats far away from home. Why do people need to do uni anyway, do away with uni and have medical school or something like that.
hundreds? Highly unlikely. You made that up. Liar
A few years ago kids were told by universities that unless they had a degree they would be digging ditched their entire lives. It’s total nonsense and always was.
Three years? More like three seconds. "There are only two genders. Collect your degree on the way out." 😂
Many with a degree are still digging ditches anyway.
No surprise there.
One hears of PhD's as lavatory cleaners, among other things.
No one said that, why make up stuff, it just shows you've got nothing of actual substance to comment
@joshuamccartney1878 well I can speak from experience - I was told by a career counsellor to go to university because trades were useless. The sentiment was certainly out there.
Yes I've lost count of how many out of work "Environmental Scientists" we've employed in our business which has very little to do with the "Environment" or "Science" !

Oh get a life. Academics are not highly paid. Obscene salaries? Give us the proof
@mrbrightside4278
...your first sentence tells us all we need to know about you!
The state should only fund science and vocational degrees like engineering, accounting etc. Junk degrees Fine arts, feminism and gender studies degrees should be fully funded by the students as they ad no value to the economy or national interest.
The same applies to NSW TAFE degrees.
And u have to move if they do have the tafe course u want and it's not in your area.

Women studies?
Yes. It used to get you a restraining order; now it gets you a (fully subsidised) degree.
ive been studying women all my life and i still know very little about them ...
Women? Or WHIMMIN(sic)?
Women studies is embarrassing, seriously imagine if there was a ‘men studies’ 😂
Lowered standards, subpar students, and garbage programs have rendered university degrees of little value.
its just too much cultural studies, they need to get back to the original texts

The money trees around the country must have bloomed at the same time!!
But it's even worse. People who have been working in professions for years are being forced to complete nonsense post graduate degrees in order to continue to do the jobs they have been doing for years. What does that mean? More of the workforce employed at Universities, paid for by taxpayers and employers, pushing up taxes and costs while also reducing the labour supply. This requires more migrants to fill vacancies, pushing up rents, stressing infrastructure and healthcare. Total madness.
Thats simply untrue. Stop lying
They,re only there so they can avoid work for as long as possible.😂

@@kyliemoronogueI know a few myself who are my kids friends and ages. Some are 30 and just keep doing a degree after degree. While Indian and Chinese students here do courses where there are shortages. They get asked to stay and immediately start working in the subjects they studied. Go to new housing estates or ones in development. You’ll find majority of buyers are Indian, Vietnamese, Cambodian etc. many borrowed money to come here and study. They work hard pay off loan. Send money back to family. Then buy homes. Where as the local Woke indoctrinated. Do useless studies and subjects. Many stay on welfare decades after completing degrees.

The 'Snake Chalmer' has a Doctorate in 'Paul Keating, talk about Useless Degrees .....He's the Most Useless Treasurer you would come across !
From experience. Yes, too many junk degrees.
But the company I was with it didn't matter what the degree was as long as it was a degree. Get a degree in Greek mythology and you were qualified to run the engineering department.
Perth Western Australia.
and your degree is in ?
There are Certain Occupations A University Degree is Essential, Engineering, Medicine, Teaching, Accounting Etc.........Politics is NOT one of them !
NURSING!
Agree re engineering and medicine but doubt accounting and teaching. I was registered nurse and laterally worked in vocational education. I was encouraged to get an education degree and found it a total waste of time and money so quit. Training and assessment was all that was necessary as well as the skills and knowledge behind what I was teaching.
I believe that politics is waste of time and career politicians has contributed to the date of politics today. People need life experience and work experience to run the country.
Nursing needs to come out of uni as it’s not producing the calibre we need . Nursing is all about competence, skills and knowledge that are best obtained by a better combination of college and on the job training. You’ve always had to have a half a brain to be a proficient registered nurse. It was never broken in the first place and somethings not broken there should be no reason to ‘fix’ it!
And we’ve just handed back HECS money. The refund should only have been for essential degrees.
As a university educated man can you give me your definition of what an essential degree is?
@@user-lp1fj3ny9vmaybe degrees that have a practical use in the real world.
@@user-lp1fj3ny9v the federal government I think has already identified them.
C'mon Rita what would the Australian media be without people with Arts degrees and a Twitter account?
If they drop the debt to the tax payers, then the tax payers deserve to choose which degrees are worthless and useless and discontinue them.
That makes sense, let random uneducated people who have no clue how the education system works decide what is worth studying. Try using that single brain cell you got left before you blabber off about things you've got no clue about
like the hoi poloi know?
The fancy buildings should be for top tier science / med / engineering + students. Pretend degrees like the arts should not be on campus and should not have access to the fancy buildings.
you clearly have no idea what the arts is . . .
What a vacuous comment
Yep if don't have degree your not good enough.look at what we are getting.their are a lot of people around the didn't go to uni the learn on the job are far more experienced
Not learning proper grammer.

@@kyliemoronoguearen't you just an elitist, sanctimonious ray of sunshine?
@@superdavies5548 Your perception is a symptom of the dumbing down of society. Watch a movie called Idiocracy. If you have a problem with correct grammar and if you want a nation where the entire workforce are tradies (so, no doctors, no researchers, not even nurses or teachers), then Australia ought to be careful what it wishes for. It's already experiencing one of the world's worst brain drains (locally born professionals leaving their own country). The Idiocracy is happening in Australia and it's the working class chip on the shoulder about education that is accelerating it, leading to unsustainably high levels of immigration.
@@superdavies5548 We're living in the Idiocracy (a movie about the dumb!ng down of society) if correct grammar triggers you. If you want a society of nothing except tradies then Australia will become an even bigger joke. You will see immigration continue to rise as the brain drain out of Australia continues and your standard of living will continue to fall. Keep judging me. Keep shaming teachers, architects, researchers, 'professional students', keep demanding that nurses and doctors be tr!ple jabbed and keep seething at the legal profession.

Thankyou university students-your voice has reached gaza.
Degrees should be awarded by bodies independent from those selling tuition. That way, the cost of tuition would fall to its actual market value, a small fraction of the current fees.

No subversion courses
Here is the best advice youll recieve from a stranger.
Assuming you are not well off to start with
1. Forget corporate work
2. ONLY go to uni if you want to become a lawyer
3. If nothing else do a trade as a diesel mechanic.
Forget general trades ( light vehical mechanic, plumber, sparky )
Is that of only Australian students or overseas students.
Anything Degree's, are for Overseas Students Immigration Ponzi Scheme !
Same in the U.K. in the U.K. 🇬🇧 I believe.
It worth noting that even a junk degree is one more than Rita or Rowan ever completed.

The $3 BILLION isn't from "tax payers dollars", it IS from BORROWED MONEY. Australia is in debt to the tune of $ 897 BILLION dollars already. This will grow to $ 1 TRILLION dollars within 12 months. Our children and grandchildren will still be paying ALBO'S debt load throughout THEIR working lives.

Just make universities' funding dependent on awarding X many full scholarships in rigorous subjects - including arts etc.
Basically just defund Arts degrees, problem solved.
Many decades ago California had a moderate and sane policy of financially supporting some higher education (mostly two-year colleges) in specific subjects. This helped California to develop.
The same basic idea brought to the extreme has now helped California to destroy itself.
Yes Australia used to have teaching colleges and nursing colleges.
Same in the UK. Most universities are only too happy to take lots of money for handing out certificates that have less value than a sheet of toilet paper.
Yes ARTS DEGREES. Heaps of crap.
Get rid of those wannabe degrees out of tertiary and TEACH them in the secondary education phase.
It’s time students did some hard yards in the last five years of the secondary phase.

Work training should be delivered by trade guilds. Some might demand degrees for admission.
Yes. But price signals won't turn students away from university.
A culture that shows trades or other employment is open, and a great alternative will get students out of the university grind.
Sadly apprenticeships are being dropped by young people as they are mostly badly trained and treated and cant live on the"wages" given.
@@edmurks236 True, there is a wage issue in that sector.
The goal of future earnings is clearly not enough to keep them in.
A psychology degree used to be an arts degree. Now somehow its a science degree. Wtf.
If you are at university, studying medicine, engineering, law or the science fields, fantastic!
If you are studying anything else, you are wasting your time and taxpayer money!

2/3 of so called Lawyers have Art's Degree's, with a Major in Law ! and what Job's do they have ?
@@KT-bb1tb read the above
@@user-sj5lq8uz5j The Emphasis is......Arts Degree ! Ba = Bugger All !
@@KT-bb1tbAn arts degree with 'a law major' is not a lawyer's qualification. You are writing nonsense. A lawyer has either
1) a law degree, or
2) a law degree and an arts degree (a combined degree of a *full law degree* supplemented by a major in arts subjects) or
3) two consecutive degrees, completing an arts degree first and then completing a law degree.
No one gets to be a lawyer on just an arts degree.
Look up the Priestley 11. You won't be admitted into practice as a lawyer without it and you can't do that with an arts degree and 'a law major'.
Why do the universities have those degrees even? 🤔
So they can make money, Universities pushing overseas students to get bucks, most o& them don’t complete studies it’s a pathway to citizenship. Yes folks your dollars at work making others rich

Affordable housing!! Quality trade and business training!!! And how will we and the next generation pay off the interest on all this debt, let alone the debt itself ?
I will give my point of view I worked in the underground mining industry for over 40 years.
In that time I seen all sorts of people employed from people fleeing communist europe to training programmes for indigenous people and a lot of ex military.
Often we would get people from tertiary background that had compleyed degrees but where not interested particullarly in their field so came into mining for something different.
These people ehere disciplined motivated learned quickly and mosyly reliable they where aware of economics and general whrre easy to supervise.
In my experience from working with these people and other people like engineers geologists geotechs etc. Its not the degree thats important its the discipline and proffessionalism that these people learn that we need to encourage for all our citizens.
Thay's what HECS debts are for...to punish them.
Meaningful jobs for chemists, physicists, mathematicians, chemical engineers, Civil/Mechanical/Electrical engineering in Australia at the moment - No. You have more chance of winning a major Lotto draw.
The most easiest way to get a degree. Like for example ....getting an English degree without any plans at becoming a teacher.
I ask a known RUclipsr what she was getting her degree in and she told me English and I asked why and she said because she will not have to take any math to get the degree ! But at least she is paying for her school herself.
Humanities and the Arts are not " junk courses"!! Greed not the only reason to study!!! Sky News spewing garbage as usual.

The time kids had/have to spend at school before they can legally leave, and the all kids encouraged to stay on at school till Year 12 even if they were not academically interested or even capable was and is all POLITICAL and helped disguise/cover up the terrible youth unemployment at the time and this has continued to be the case.Its just babysitting the unemployed youth at a different facility. Encouraging single mothers, welfare recipients, etc etc to undertake "uni" course which they have no hope of competing is the same its just hiding the real unemployment numbers while pretending to give "opportunities to people" incapable of using them..
Sorry but parents have control, my son wanted to leave in year 11 so he got an apprenticeship, no job stay at school
Hit the nail on the head, at least about camouflaging unemployment in the classroom.
Did they just work this out I thought people that went to university were supposed to be smart here’s a tip leave high school in year 10 and get yourself an apprenticeship work hard stop looking for the soft option and have a dig
