Fries vis ut?
Nov. 30th, 2010 09:47 amBack when I was eighteen I finished up at school and went off to a second rate university to do a psychology degree. Why psychology?, you ask? Well, it had the highest female:male ratio of any course in the country There were only five hours of lectures a week and I figured I could spend the rest of my time drinking as those who know me are aware, I have a deep and caring nature and wanted to learn to help my fellow man.
I got a certain amount of ribbing about this: a psychology degree from a former polytechnic (that's Manchester Pretend University) is about as useless an academic qualification as you can get. "What's the first thing a new psychology graduate says?" was the joke. "Do you want fries with that."
I was reading the paper the other day that the McDonalds Management School in London - which they call McDonalds University - has just started offering a degree level qualification. And to my dismay it's accredited by my alma mater, Manchester Pretend University.
I know that I went to a university whose degrees only qualified me to flip burgers, but I must say I wish they hadn't formally recognised that.
