Another problem is that most kids will be lazy and do not want to put in the time it takes to be successful. Why spend 4 years at uni working your guts out when you can do a 3 day course at TAFE in real estate and make 10 times the wage of any degree holder. We had some extensions done at our school recently I remember one time I was on duty on the front oval and looked into the car park. The best car belonged to the brickie.

Oh, I totally agree with that sentiment!!!. I've seen some atrocious lecturers and I have some rather funny anecdotes about uni lecturers

That's the irony of the whole thing...even a TA gets big money. Quite frankly, they're not worth it.
