How would you predict that?Anyway, if we want to get serious about not wasting govt money in higher education then we should be prioritising money towards fields in which the country actually needs graduates and away from those which it does not.
There is a fair case to say that Joe Hockey's Arts degree was a total waste of money but there is no way to predict demand for particular degree educated workers.
There is an oft-quoted 'fact' (not sure if it is true) that there ar emore people in law degrees than there are practising lawyers. This would indicate a glut of lawyers yet the cost of legal representation remains very high. That's odd, isn't it?
medusala seems to have an opinion on "useless degrees" - tell us meddy which degrees are useless and which are useful? Please give us an explanation of your reasoning including projections and evidence. Given the above, would you agree that law degrees are pretty useless?
