''New'' universities?

We Answered:

Degree's just arent worth the paper they are written on nowadays.
Its a total joke. I know i am/was/going to be again a student.

I started a Biology Degree, only to be told in my 2nd year, from all of the Post-Grads that the only way to get a job was to go back and do a Masters. I checked it myself, and same conclusion. And afterwards i could work up to a £20,000 salary, or Supervisor at £25-30,000. Those wages are after your 2 Uni courses, training, and your working your way up. Joke.

Just did 1st year of a Computing Degree and honestly... i learned more sat down at the insides of a pc than i did in 6 Months at a Uni "Computer Technology" module. Same with the rest of the modules.

I want to learn and get a degree, but finding a Uni which doesnt just churn out idiots with paper qualifications and little skills is getting damn near impossible.

What is the USA equivilant of a UK 'College', terminologically speaking?

We Answered:

We have high school until grade 12 (around 18 years old). During high school you can take "advanced placement" courses (more often called AP courses), which look good on college (university) applications and help your chances of getting it, but still do not get you any further to your college degree. During high school you can also take college level courses through some colleges or community colleges which you can apply towards meeting the requirements of your college degree.

We have "Junior" or "Community" colleges here, which seem to play a similar role to further education colleges in the UK. You can become an electrician, or you can just take regular courses, earn a two year degree (associates degree) and then transfer to a college (univeristy) to get your four year degree (bachelors).
