Jazza....you had to go and scare me didn't you? I was quite happy not thinking about my future! Oh god what am I going to do?

[rhymingwithoranges]

sorry

:S

Great question Jazza, I'm worried about that, because my dad went to Uni and was unable to get a job here in the UK, and we had to move to Germany because my dad's friend offered him a job. I'm glad we did though I'm good at German and we then moved to France, so I passed my French GCSE in year 9.

I'm just worried because if I can't get a job after Uni, how am I going to pay off my student loan.

your very lucky to have had such exposure to cultural diversity, being exposed to languages like that is probably one of the best things to happen to you at a young age.

Hey Jazza,

I'm completely with you on this one.

I have also been wondering why so many countries (it's the same in Germany, where I'm from) are so keen on producing more and more academics while the demand isn't really rising. So what will be the end of this? A country of unemployed linguists, scientists, psychologists etc. - and no one to repair their cars? Will people with university degrees from now on also work behind the counter of McDonald's?

BTW, I really like your vids! ur awesome ;-)

and so true

ur studying chinese ffs. study a real subject and get a real degree u f@g

@jjhony85 I'm learning Arabic and I intend on teaching english to Arabic people. I can think of two extremely obvious jobs that come from those degrees that apparently you and two other people can't see.

[kyleryan2000]

@DeltaNC I would have to greatly disagree. One of the biggest deadbeats ive ever met has a double degree in biology and chemistry and hasn't had a job in three years; one of the most successful people I know writes for the new york times and has a double degree in political science and global studies. It's a bit extreme to call any form of education a "scam". The university never agreed to hand out resumes and put in a good word for you.

I am impressed by that fact that you even raise such a question. You see, in todays global world even "Brain Power" is quite cheap. Honestly unless you are near the top of your field, life might be hard. You have to realize that you are competing with the world now. It's not about a degree so much as getting the best quality on a global basis. Are you honestly that top quality? Or are there many people more highly qualified? Do you expect to be a 'privileged' white male or what?
