They probably still run a course for that.

Anyone with a degree who thinks that entitles them to not pick up a box or stack shelves should instantly be required to repay the taxpayer for their entire education.

When the parents have been paying into the tax system all their lives and with most Uni students paying for their own education, I can't see what it has to do with anyone else.
Shouldn't someone who has spents years working for a degree then be entitled to find suitable work? I would say that it is a waste of talent to have someone with any (especially science based) degree stacking shelves in Tescos.

Anyone who refuses a job because. " they have a degree" should be shot in the face.
I've worked behind a bar , been a labourer for a builder, worked shifts stripping starter motors and unloaded kitchen furniture lorries.
I'm an international account manager now and last week I unloaded a 40 foot wagon dressed in a suit and tie because it needed doing.(I have a licence)
I know someone who uses this excuse. It was all I could do to not punch him.

Taking that to it's logical conclusion then, I should never pay any tax whatever because my grandparents and parents did, so I'm entitled to everything surely?
A degree is a chance to work at a higher level, not an entitlement so no it's not a waste to have little Johnny stacking shelves with his masters degree. What it means is when he looks for alternative work he has greater potential options. It doesn't mean he limits those options to only degree level work.
If I decided to retrain as a plumber, does that mean I'm able to ignore everything else I can potential do just because I can't find a plumbing job?

I passed my city and guilds in mechanical engineering and NVQ 2/3 and key skills in Quality Control etc which took me about 7/8 years to get finsihed yet over this past 10 years i have been a beer keg loader to pubs, fork lift truck driver, bread delivery man, reality delivery driver, steel cutter, air con engr, a skivvy to pick up cars that company bosses had on finance through Black Horse and needed servicing and MOT, i have also done some others
Once i have my eye ops done i want to see about either plumbing or garden maintainance (patio cleaning etc) starting my own buisness but if my eye ops fail i may se if i can get a job working from home online somehow still trying to find out what there is in this field tbh
