The Guardian posted:

White teenagers are less likely to apply to university than youngsters from any other ethnic group, according to research.

Fewer than three in 10 white 18-year-olds have applied to start degree courses this autumn, while applications from black pupils have increased significantly since 2006, data published by Ucas shows.

It also provides evidence that women are outnumbering men at university, with young women nearly a third more likely to apply this year.

What kind of dipshit would get a degree in any of the socialist euro or australian type places where you can make good money mopping floors and get free health care...or better yet just sit on your rear end and get fat while the government pays for people to wait on you or get a free sex change.

16 dollars an hour isn't "good money" in Australia and the low end jobs which pay that are often casual or part-time.

Being able to live like an adult is pretty good motivation for obtaining qualifications which allow you to earn more than minimum wage, even if they're qualifications which can be gained in a few days. A lot of transport and logistics stuff pays 25-30 an hour and the certificates needed only cost a couple of hundred dollars.

This is another thing which makes trades attractive to a lot of people here. Apart from the fact that a lot of people don't want to be white collar workers, most of the financial pain is upfront with the trades. You get paid lovely money while you're undertaking your apprenticeship, but you finish with a lot less debt than someone who has undertaken a professional degree (although that's probably going to change dramatically here in the next decade).
