Spot on and also many senior staff/Managers work their way up. Traditional Degrees are not for all. Who is going to support these students for the 3 or 4 years it takes?

The UK has a big issue with to many people who can write an amazing essay and pass exams but has little experience in the industry, does not know how the various departments or companies in the field of business work.

Teachers have way to much influence in this field just because a levels and degree was good for them does not always means its perfect for others.

Look at many companies and many of the staff in key positions and senior positions have worked their way up. The experience these people gains is huge. Most mange to pick up skills as they go or get on the job training.

Does Phill have plenty of facilities to educate the existing workforce. Evening classes, home study in the vein of open university? This maybe of more use to many as they progress up the ladder when they have a clearer idea of what skills they need to learn.

As mentioned in another thread today I see a huge problem where Degree students due to the amount of time they spend getting the qualification are not very malleable, not open to new ideas, sometimes think they are cleverer than those who are charged with training them in their job role. Not humble enough to learn various roles in the work place.

Simply flooding the job market with people with degrees will mean wages will drop in some fields and others will find themselves having waste four years.
