The graduate premium in employment for English university students is shrinking, at the same time that the costs of university have been rising (even if the fees themselves have remained capped for some years).... but when we look at the return to investment across (some) subjects we also see significant variation.

Given its costs its no wonder student worry about the employment/salary benefits, which sadly means the humanistic case for higher education gets lost in the 'noise'

and have you seen the discussion of their working conditions.... its a tough job both mentally & physically; and even at that level of remuneration there seems to be a recruitment shortfall

the failure rate during testing is high. Shift work . Away from home possibly. Odd though that as trains get closed to being self driving the requirement for drivers increases.

I guess that is an issue for the response to catastrophic problems (crash, technical failure while travelling at speed?) requiring slit second human judgement?
