Researchers are full of bulltish I have two uni professors in my immediate family some of their income is grants for "research"
In the past the plebs were mesmerised by a person having a Uni degree…they were seen basically as seers in society.
Now, either the plebs are better educated or the Uni courses available has contributed to a Uni’s degree’s standing being degraded in our society!
As an example, I was military trained in electronics in Analogue and Digital concepts. In my civil employment, we had 3 Uni students who worked with us…us plebs produced 3 different Electronic assignments for these Uni students to be presented to their lecturer.
