3,000 more kids graduate with a law degree each year than there are legal training contracts in the UK. Most larger law firms prefer to take non-cognate graduates from elite universities and mould them. This has been going on for three decades and is outrageous dishonesty from education providers.

As I said upthread, I'm more than a bit cynical about universities. Of course there are many courses which will lead to excellent careers.  But, many of the courses are for subjects with little opportunity for employment which leave the customer ('cos that 's what they are) in debt. My two that went have no regrets and had a great time. On the other hand, I also had a great time at that age, working on the coast. Plus I came back with no debt and a much broader approach to life than I previously had and enough nous to keep me employed ever since. I would think very carefully before committing to the amount of debt incurred by students now.
