hmm....i must explain what i meant.
Im currently doing 4th year pharmacy and it involves way more work than most degrees (so i fucken know what it involves).
By "wanky" degrees, i mean arts etc (not law, med, engineering etc), my brothers doing one, he does no work and gets D's. I know so many people who are doing these random degrees and then changing and never going anywhere. All i was saying is that theres nothing wrong with learning a trade and there is a lot of work out there and a worthwhile option for many people.
