Because many degrees are pointless, altering institutions into degree factories without adding value to the student.
Because many degrees are pointless, altering institutions into degree factories without adding value to the student. Uni wasn't supposed to be easy, but to cater for the broader population, content has been dumbed down, standards lowered, with the consequence that the degree is devalued.

"Clinton played the spoiled, sorority girl brat who believed it was owed to her, as if she earned it. And class played a major role. We really don't know how rich Trump is but we do know about Clinton. She insulted the working class while Trump demogogued his way into the hearts and purse strings of many in the working class. Clinton can whine all she wants about why she lost but like the boy who cried wolf, eventually no one will listen. We can only hope," Hoenig concluded

Border force .
Border force ... we have arrivals all the time, but if we reclassify arrivals as not having arrived then we have not had any arrivals!
KIM CARR, LABOR SENATOR FOR VICTORIA: Did a boat arrive on Sabo Island on the 20th of August?
MICHAEL OUTRAM, ACTING COMMISSIONER, BORDER FORCE: Yes.
KIM CARR: It was. And did it involve six Chinese nationals?
MICHAEL OUTRAM: Yes.
KIM CARR: And was there a New Guinean people smuggler involved?
MICHAEL OUTRAM: There was a New Guinean person on there, yes.
KIM CARR: And why is that not arrival in Australia?
MICHAEL OUTRAM: It's not an arrival under the scope of Operation Sovereign Borders. Is that what you mean?
KIM CARR: Oh, I see. So, I wanted to be clear. So, just so long as we understand what 1,000 days means. It doesn't mean Chinese? It doesn't mean east coast?
MICHAEL OUTRAM: No, no. Senator, no. We get illegal arrivals in Australia at the border all the time and have done for many years, as you know.
The reason OSB (Operation Sovereign Borders) was set up was not to deal with Papua New Guinea. As I articulated, it was to do with people arriving on the high seas, primarily out of Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
MATT WORDSWORTH: So sometimes when a boat arrives, Jeremy, it actually doesn't. It depends on where it comes from.
