Son had been offered to do a degree in bakery.
He didn’t etc – I hope you are joking; if not it is far more serious than I thought. Can you imagine two boys, neither of whom are academic. One gets an apprenticeship studying food preparation and gets a part-time job at a bakery. The other goes to university.
After three years a job comes up supervising a number of bakeries. One applies saying he is £50,000 in debt but he says he has a 1st degree in Bakery. He knows in theory how to make bread. The other says he has three years experience having started out part time.
Who gets the job? Answers on a postcard.
He didn’t etc – If your comment was not a joke, then I agree with you the university in question should be shut down.
