Podcasts about university degree

I didn't go to university and there's a bit of a dad joke that I trot out about that now and again. I say that I'm a student of life, in no rush to graduate. So maybe I'm coming at this with a biased view of the world, but I agree with this academic at the University of Canterbury who is saying today that universities have just become factories that pump out people with degrees. And he wants them to become elite institutions again. What's more, he's saying that because universities are so focused on getting people in the door and giving them a qualification, it's meant that there are people at university who shouldn't be. And how does he know that? Or why does he think that? It's because of the number of students at university that, he says, are illiterate. In fact, he reckons it's got so bad that it's reached “a crisis level”. Mike Grimshaw is his name. He's an Associate Professor of Sociology at Canterbury. And, as well as saying today that universities need to get all elite on it again, he's also pointing the finger at the education system. Primary schools, in particular. Which he says are failing to create what he calls a reading and writing culture because they have become more interested in technology than education. This is how he's describing it today. He's saying that schools, and society in general, have “swallowed the technological Kool Aid without actually valuing education.” So that's where his finger is pointing. He says many students "appear to be functionally illiterate - going on the incoherence of their written work. Compulsory writing or critical thinking courses do not seem to help as they can pass these and still regularly submit incoherent work.” So I get what he's saying about the school system failing kids so that, by the time they reach university, their reading and writing isn't what it should be. But I'm also going to point the finger at employers, because the fact that people have to have a university degree just to get a foot in the door at a lot of outfits is something I've been hot on for a long time. I think it's crazy. And it's not just because I didn't go to university, it's not just because I learned how to be a journalist on the job at a local newspaper. It's because a university degree doesn't make someone better suited for a job. If someone's a real nosey type, who won't take “no” for an answer and who isn't scared to knock on someone's door to see if they want to talk, but doesn't have piece of paper from a university, they will be a way better journalist than someone who went to university, got a degree but is too scared to talk to people. I'm sure you can think of jobs or professions where natural inclination or natural skill way outshines the benefit of a university degree. But, for some reason, a lot of employers these days don't want to know you if you haven't got a qualification. When it comes to university, my view is that there should only be two reasons for someone to go. The first is if you absolutely have to because of the career you want - so that's things like law, engineering, medicine. The other reason is if you really want to. And that's probably the key bit here, because, if you really want to go to university, chances are you're not going to be illiterate. Universities these days are full of people who don't really want to be at university but they think they have to if they want to get a job, and they'll be the ones who Mike Grimshaw at UC is talking about today. And that's why employers have to take some of the blame here. Employers who know full well that someone could do the job for them just as well —with or without a university degree— but, for some reason, they're only interested in talking to the people with the degree and the framed photo on the wall.

Wes is joined by CIA's Chief Investment Officer Connor Miller on today's episode of Money Matters. They discuss the significant news about the Fed cutting interest rates. They probe a study showing that 41% of Americans report peak stress conditions, though the misery index fell slightly from last year. They dive into a list of which university degrees statistically lead to higher earnings for their graduates. They examine a Wall Street Journal article about millionaires who decided to rent instead of buying their homes. They explore the public's overall sentiment for the government. Finally, Connor shows Wes which election results have historically yielded the best market returns. Is it Republican or Democrat? The answer might surprise you.

It is one of those life-changing moments that doesn't get a lot of attention. Even the greeting card industry hasn't created an "Empty Nest" category. However you feel about it, when a child moves out, it's a dramatic change and for some it can be a rough time. What happened the day you became an empty nester? How did your relationship with your kids change after they moved out?And then in our second topic, we discuss the value of a university degree. The Bank of Canada looked at data from 2018 gathered by Statistics Canada. It determined that workers in their 40's with a university degree earned about 10 dollars more per hour than those who graduated from college or another post-secondary school. But that gap was larger back in 1997 and the economy has certainly changed since 2018. Joel Westheimer is a professor of democracy and education at the University of Ottawa and has written and talked about the value of a university degree. He's also an education columnist with CBC Ottawa. He answered your questions about whether or not a University degree is still worth it.

Kristen Benz discusses the value of a college degree as she fills in for Mike Broomhead. 

You can fool some of the people all the time. Especially when they want to be fooled. That is don's skill. He is a master. All the easier when half the population has an IQ in double digits and very busy trying to survive. Also, easy to fool high IQ people with Dysrationalia. What is that you say? The inability to think and behave rationally despite adequate intelligence. It is a concept in educational psychology and is not a clinical disorder such as a thought disorder. Dysrationalia can be a resource to help explain why smart people fall for Ponzi schemes and other fraudulent encounters. The there is also the theory of stupidity--where stupid people can be smart, but act against their own interest, hurting themselves and others for no reason. Stupidity is worse than evil, because we have no defenses against them. And they are everywhere. In all professions, all walks of life. You have probably noticed this, but did not know it has be studied extensively. Check it out.

Three years ago the New Statesman published a cover story showing how successive British governments have emaciated standards in UK university degrees, creating a generation of graduates with devalued qualifications, while costing the taxpayer billions. Since then, the “great university con” has continued unabated. Grade inflation has only increased, despite various declarations from ministers that something should be done to counter it. In this deeply researched and wide-ranging article, the New Statesman's senior politics correspondent, Harry Lambert, wrote that the number of Firsts awarded at British universities has quadrupled since 1994. Now, three years on, that number has quintupled. In this Audio Long Reads episode, Lambert argues that the forces driving this disintegration of academic standards remain in place. That is no surprise. The current system is useful for too many of those involved for the sector to agitate for change. But Britain is being sold short by this “university miracle” – of ever more students going into higher education, and more and more of them emerging with higher grades. How did we reach this point? Why has the value of a British university degree become so diminished? This piece offers answers to the questions that successive waves of students and their parents have been asking for years. This article was first published on newstatesman.com on 21 August 2019. You can read the text version here. Written and read by Harry Lambert.

Kenya goes to the polls on Tuesday Aug. 9. From the presidential contenders all the way down, the pool (or cesspool) of candidates is filled with people with questionable morals. One of them, a Nairobi gubernatorial candidate named Johnson Sakaja, has been under fire for failing to prove that he has a university degree, as required by law. Does an African really need a university degree in western education to be a good leader?

Welcome to Episode 985 Stevie Kim moderates Clubhouse's Ambassadors Corner – In this episode Cedric Izri interviews Frank Cornilissen. These sessions are recorded from Clubhouse and replayed here on the Italian Wine Podcast! Listen in on this series as Italian Wine Ambassadors all over the world chat with Stevie and their chosen wine producer. Which producer would you interview if you had your pick? About about today's guest host: Cédric Izri is a French citizen, with roots in Burgundy and Champagne (unfortunately nobody in the family was making wine) . His career path has not been into wine, but in finance. He had multiple positions in multinational companies and traveled a lot across Europe and more. He always had the objective to work in the wine world one day as he has been a long time amateur and passionate about wine. He bought his first premier grand cru of Bordeaux in 1993 (Chateau Haut Brion vintage 1990) with pocket money while being a student (prices were very affordable) and since then, never stopped buying, learning, travelling, tasting and discovering wines from France and abroad. His passion drove Cédric to develop his knowledge and tasting skills through a number of programs. He holds the WSET Diploma, a Sake Sommelier Certification , University Degree on Geo-sensorial tasting (old practice of focusing on physical characteristics and movement of the wine in mouth)and some more. He is a Master of Wine student and since 2022 an Italian Wine Ambassador. Cedric, aside of his regular job, runs a WSET wine school in Luxembourg and a small retail company in France and of course, has thousands of wine related projects in head! If you want to learn more about today's guest host, you can by visiting: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/cedricizriDipWset/ Instagram @chambertin18_wine LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-izri-dipwset-a91ba92/ Website https://lwsa.lu About today's guest producer: Frank Cornilissen was born and grew up in Belgium. Before moving to Sicily and establishing his estate in 2001, Frank used to work as an international wine merchant, in particular focusing in Bourgogne and Bordeaux. I have read somewhere that some of the first wines he bought were a mix of 1972 Domaine de la Romanée Conti bottles. If this is true, it tells something, isn't it?

In this episode, our host Anika Zubair chats with Vijay Mehrotra, Professor of Business Analytics and Information Systems at the University of San Francisco about what tomorrow's CS leaders are being taught. Just a few years ago, Customer Success was still an emerging profession and barely mentioned at university. Many of us have ended up in the industry through a different career path, such as sales, marketing, or product. So, how did CS go from being unknown to being taught as one of the MBA courses at the University of San Francisco? And what's the future of CS education?Vijay's resources:USF Facebook pageUSF Customer Success ManagementAnalytic Magazine Podcast enquiries: sofia@planhat.com

Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to know what to do in the gym before we start? We don't do the same thing on the first day of uni. Why is this 'new thing' so different? Surviving Christmas! Fitness Set yourself a manageable minimum over the holidays ie three sessions a week. Don't over commit and under deliver, you will feel like shit! Make it an important part of your routine if you're away; ie get it in before the kids get up! If it's done first thing you are less likely to back out Set a goal ie working on HSW or DUs or running or something - having a bit of extra time or time out of the gym opens up lots of new possibilities for progress!! Food Tips for surviving social events What do you do when you feel like family and judging you, questioning your choices?? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/womenofcrossfit/message

What if you could legally print your own verified Free University Degree World Wide No Tuition Diploma with the Globehell Stamp of Approval? Would this be worth going in debt for?

“Success is never owned, it is rented, and the rent is due every day.” — Rory Vaden I love this quote by Rory Vaden. It fits training a dog so well, how could we possibly think about it any differently now that we've thought of it in that context? I have to put in effort EVERY day in order to have success. Right! Got it..... Except.... How does one measure success. Often as humans, we can only focus on the end stage, the BIG picture - the SUCCESS, and we think about the final product as our measure of success. This often leaves us throwing our hands up in frustration when we don't achieve it overnight or when we're confused about how to get from A to Z? What about the other 24 stepping stone letters? Think about dropping a child off for their first day of Kindergarten. If the only measure of success is a University Degree, you'll feel like a failure pretty quickly. So let's break things down into bite sized chunks of information and what better way to do that than with an acronym? I love acronyms and here is another good one for remembering what's important when working with your dog: Your role in helping your dog learn is to C.A.R.E.

Matti gets into some Twitter beef from an article on how kids want to be YouTubers. Some commenters felt that it was sad how kids wanted to be YouTubers, but Matti and Steve dig into this dilemma. There's so much to learn about branding, business, finance, marketing, and more from YouTube that may be more valuable than a University Degree. In fact, a University degree may even be riskier than YouTube because of the upfront investment to potentially find out you don't like it after you graduate!Cash College on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS4ITAOQlFP9_ny2Zl5b0ig/ Matti Haapoja on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/mattih/ Produced by Tyler Wells: https://www.youtube.com/TylerWells/ Creator Coin is a Podcast and fun casual discussion about personal finance and the creator space. Steve is a personal finance guy with a YouTube channel Cash College, and Matti is a filmmaker creator with an interest in personal finance. Matti and Steve will be exploring the wild wild west that is the creator world, creator economics, and basically anything to do with money and creators!

I live in Australia, where I worked in Drilling for 4 years ( firstly minerals). I lastly worked as a Roughneck for Saxon before I quit my job. I had a traineeship lined up with Schlumberger. Well,then the downturn started and the traineeship fell through, I worked, studied and traveled elsewhere and now started studying Petroleum Engineering & Geology in Adelaide, Australia. I studied Arabic in a previous University Degree- and yes, you got it -would like to work in the Gulf after I finish my current degree (still a long way to go…) I love listening to your show but I am devastated because in the last 2 weeks I couldn’t download your episodes from i Tunes. They do show up in my list of subscribed podcasts but they don’t download automatically, neither when I try to download them individually. I don’t know whether others have the same issue, as I cannot listen in on you and your reader’s comments. Please help me!!! Also: I can’t find the oil & gas this week group on linkedin….any hints??? And: I would like to subscribe to the Oil & Gas Young Professionals Group but find it very US market focused- makes sense of course- I live in Australia and am interested in the Arab and Central Asian Market- do you know of other groups/ networks which focus more on those regions? Your help on one or all of those matters would be greatly appreciated Thank you and have a good day! Where can I find some comprehensive maps covering pipelines across the country for refined products? I would even be willing to purchase physical paper maps if that is the answer. I recently watched the movie Deep Horizon. I would like to know once the drilling is completed how does the oil get from the wellhead to a ship? 1. What's your understanding of the state of EU and US sanctions on Russia? It appears that Trump wants to ease or lift sanctions eventually, but is proceeding very cautiously. Several EU countries seem to want to ease sanctions as well. The EU has another layer of issues with several interesting elections in its larger member states and its uncertain future generally. So, what do you think is likely to happen with these western sanctions in the near term? 2. Are there any countries in the world other than the U.S. where individual property owners actually own their mineral rights? Where? 3. Here's an oil and gas 101 question. Can you talk a bit about how the process of acquiring licenses to look for and extract oil and gas int...
