I think of those ‘degrees‘ as vocational qualifications like plumbing and the like. Sort of white collar apprenticeships.medicine

I gave up on the list as I couldn't be bothered with an odd view of the world - but yes some areas of ENGEngineering could probably be added?
this is true. Interestingly demand for Degree Apprenticeships is growing in STEM.Also, the idea up thread that apprenticeships are a viable alternative is rather misleading, incredibly hard to get one.
Degree level apprenticeships are a pretty tough path also, very hard work so suit a more ‘grown up’ teenager.I gave up on the list as I couldn't be bothered with an odd view of the world - but yes some areas of ENG

indeed, alot of commitment and effort - no tuition fees thoughDegree level apprenticeships are a pretty tough path also, very hard work so suit a more ‘grown up’ teenager.
I graduated in 1995 but went back to HE in 2010 and have been studying on and off since then. PGCert at the OU, a BA and I'm now halfway through a distance learning Masters.I’m not sure that doing a degree to get a degree is much better.
In the mid 80's, I had an offer before I graduated in Mech Engineering with a far worse academic record from what was one of those "newer" universities.
yes - my Neice, similar with physiotherapyYeah daughter just finished paramedic degree and offered a job before she finished

It’s pretty tough out there for youngsters.
Seemingly they can't get enough apprentices over here (NI) especially in Engineering.
There's (IMHO) some great opportunities for kids, an apprenticeship with a firm that pays the kids to go to college and at the end if successful they have a degree, a job and no fees to pay.
No such thing existed when I was of school leaving age.
Maybe it's different in your neck of the woods.
add Opthalmology, Law, Archticture, probably a few others. I think Engineering, for example, is too broad for a list like thatI think of those ‘degrees‘ as vocational qualifications like plumbing and the like. Sort of white collar apprenticeships.

Probably defined by students taking the course for the money. It's interesting that people who miss out of a place in e.g. medicine almost never take a STEM degee despite having the STEM A levels...Civil Eng maybe. Law no.
I think availability varies massively. For example, would be electricians are finding it very difficult to get proper training. A lot of students do something practical post GCSE which can lead to nothing.Seemingly they can't get enough apprentices over here (NI) especially in Engineering.

Same is true for Law. It's the perception real or otherwise of financial reward. They're typically students who cram rather than those who learn a subject for the appreciation of the academic side. I always found it a bit sad.Health related. My niece missed medicine but ended up in Physio.
