Sigh... utter nonsense here. A university education is just a piece of paper that says you are better than the people that didn't get one. That's all. It doesn't create "skilled" workers. The most important thing today is work experience, because that's where actual skills are developed. As for you suggesting that we could do away with a class system, completely laughable. So everyone is going to have white collar jobs, yeah? All needs for labour related jobs are just going to disappear because we now can attract all these "skilled jobs"? lol... maybe one of these skilled jobs will be to create robots that now do the work that everyone is overqualified for. I've heard some really stupid things before, but this is on a new level. Absolutely frightening that people who think this way get to vote.
