On 'The Surgery' tonight, there was a discussion; 'Is University Worth It In The Credit Crunch?'

Now, I'm ranting because the government have proposed pumping money into MCDONALDS to create apprenticeships. Has Gordon Brown gone insane?!

To me this situation is the equivalent of Gordon Brown giving me and my university friends the finger and saying "You guys messed up, picked the wrong place...Go flip burgers and you'll get somewhere!"

Here's a suggestion - instead of pumping money into a company that is effectively a job that is underpaid, why not pump it into industries that they bitch and moan about losing workers in in the UK?

A perfect example is Information Technology and Media. The whinge that graduates in these fields are leaving the country, harming its income...here's a thought Mr. Brown - give these industries money and apprenticeships and trust me, people will come.

And there's one prime example I can mention - Video Games. This industry is supposedly on the increase in the UK....surely its a wise move to make placemetns there?

Honestly, this country has gone down hill..Thank you, New Labour.
