I think it has to do with what people think university is. It used to be academic training, now it's seen as job training, and I'm not sure it's justified, having done time at a business school. Really, it's so different studying business to doing business there should be some sort of advertising standards label on the course description. So now people think that you need to have gone to university to work in ordinary shops, and it cuts out a huge swathe of people from certain jobs that they'd be totally fine at. Sales type jobs like this centenarian was doing is one of them, you really don't need a degree to do it, but now there's a gate.
