We're on a road to nowhere
Article Abstract:
Law courses at universities have many applicants despite only around 50% of law students eventually become lawyers. Some observers suggest the students are not being fully informed about their chances of getting work. The students often build up very high debts, on average after gaining a law degree and a year on legal practice course (LPC) a student will have debts of around 10,000 pounds sterling. Some observers suggest the law courses should include the degree and LPC within a four year period. Law students who are not white amd middle class will face additional difficulties.

The road to a nation of business builders
Article Abstract:
Higher education minister Tessa Blackstone took up one of the themes of the Dearing report when she told a conference of the Assn. of Business Schools in Oct. 1997 that universities must foster students' entrepreneurial spirit. Strathclyde Graduate Business School deputy director David Wright argues that although entrepreneurs are born, they can be taught the factual side as well as essential interpersonal skills. Founder of the St John's Innovation Centre at Cambridge University Bill Bolton maintains that universities repress entrepreneurial instincts by teaching too much analysis.
