You can tell this is an ancient meme because it prices college at 4 years at $9,000 per year instead of 5 years at $30,000 per year 😆

UK businesses abuse the apprenticeship system for profit.
Like fucking Subway were taking on apprentices. Because making a sandwich clearly takes years of training, rather than about a day. Nothing to do with being able to pay them half the minimum wage, oh no, can’t be that.
But then “not in my job description” is something I stopped hearing when I left school. In the real world, your job is what your boss tells you to do (within reason), otherwise you don’t have a job any more.
Yeah absolutely. The good apprenticeships which give you valuable skills and experience are few and far between, and the ones that also pay you fairly are even rarer and I imagine are more contested than a place at university.
Yes, it’s true. I actually had another job between my apprenticeship ending and going to university where the job description was handing out leaflets. That was absolutely not what the job actually was so when I stubbornly refused to do nothing more than hand out my leaflets I got fired from that too.
I was but a bright-eyed 18 year old back then what can I say <\3 these days my spirit is crushed and I just do what I’m told (but at least I get paid a lot as a software developer).
