I felt gutted at having to study for 3 years to do this job (retail), and the new kids now studying for 4 years must feel even worse.
I would personally down grade retail to say a HND level of education. If I had studied for a 2 year HND I'd feel quite satisfied about my job, but having to have done a full degree just annoys me, as 99% of what I had to learn is just not needed for the job. I say job, because I gave up years ago on a career.

Yeah, tell me about it!here I am in year 4, worth 70% of the degree and this 12 week semester has an average of 6.5hrs lectures/week (i have project and hospital to add to that, but still...). Out of that they seem to be scraping the barrel of stuff to teach us...
I'm sure all you qualified pharmacists on here are using the interpretation skills for NMR/IR/UV/Mass spectroscopy that you learnt at uni everyday. We do disease management which is really inetersting, and unusually for the degree, its relevant. Our lecturers for that are brilliant, but we just simply don't do enough of it.
