they made it very easy to goto university in the UK during the Blair years such that degrees devalued to the point of expectation which I suppose is the result of elite overproduction, having a masters became the equivalent to a degree a decade prior. I know of multiple law grads that to this day merely serve coffee, anecdata sure but I doubt I could count the number of grads I know that ended up doing jobs that would otherwise not require any specific academic accreditation yet have at least a degree, often even in STEM.
