1. (university) (1253↑, 222↓)
Once a mechanism whereby smart people could raise themselves above humble beginnings and obtain a worthwhile qualification indicating a high probability of being employable. Now a complete con to get kids with high hopes into insurmountable amounts of debt before they even think about buying a house.. then they discover that the job they trained for was entirely fictitious, and they'll have to take any job they can get. At this point, they realise they should have gone into benefit fraud and drug dealing like all their "stupid" friends, who now have houses, cars and big screen TVs.

John always did well in his school classes, and did three A-Levels and got good grades. He went to uni for three years which put him about £30,000 in debt. When he finished his course he found that his degree counted for very little, since he had no experience and the other 400 job applicants also had degrees. He took a job as a sales rep with Coca-Cola, but got fired when he went to an interview for a better job. Meanwhile the cost of living rose exponentially, and by the age of 24, John's debts stood at around £45,000. This was before he even got a mortgage. A couple of years afterwards he divorced his wife on the grounds of infidelity, but she got custody of the kids, and now he doesn't even get to see them despite paying atrocious amounts of child support. Welcome to Blair's Britain.

1. A respectable means of gaining knowledge and becoming more employable through hard work, therefore aiding humanity in becoming a smarter, more advanced species. 2.

That'll certainly get people to think I'm smart."

11. (University) (14↑, 1↓)
An emotional roller coaster, which will take you up, down, back up and back down, sometimes more in one day. Be prepared for heavy workloads yet lots of apparent time for socializing, which will be your ultimate demise.

12. (university) (17↑, 6↓)
A place u go with the sole purpose of education. Somehow, u get sidetracked and just end up drinking, getting laid, take advantage of unemployment, and writing massive amounts of research papers that have little to do with your ability to perform a job more efficiently.

"Lets go out tonight, i just go to the university tomorrow anyways".

13. (University) (23↑, 15↓)
Harder, more expensive, and less fun than a normal, less pompous college. Also a great place to breed racist thoughts toward asians, arabs, and indians; all of whom are considerable population groups and all of which are annoying and easily defeat whitey in the classroom. Finally, don't expect to get laid much at university because the only girls who go there are the awkward, ugly, or otherwise socially inept girls who have given themselves over the the book long ago. And once you graduate, you scramble for a job against thousands of similar candidates from other universities, ultimately landing an underpaying job you don't like to pay off your $150,000 debt.

Just because you get accepted to university doesn't mean you should go.
