My eldest DS has told me that 40,000 students each year are taking Media Studies courses. He signed up for a very practical hands on course which we hope will enable him to fix stuff, wire stuff, film stuff, record sound, understand cabling and editing. He's done very well on the practical stuff but will get the lowest mark because his essay writing skills are poor. He doesn't want to be a film critic, or writer. There aren't 40,000 jobs in the media industry, and don't we need practical technical people not more writers?

the UK is stupid to encourage 40,000 to got to uni and write Media studies essays?
