WHAT CAN UNI DO FOR ME?

Inside a lavish living room the wealthy Heiress is surrounded by her team of beauticians.

It seems to me that the purpose of Higher Education is to over-qualify every Johnny Punch-Clock for his place in the real world. Why one needs a degree to fix a drainpipe, I'll never know.

I mean, why not settle for one's lot in life? All these courses do is encourage the masses to question, always question. It's not healthy. Do you think I questioned my husband when he went to New Zealand? No. I just jolly well got on with things.

It's discipline they want for. A stint in the military is immeasurably more fortifying than some sort of degree in media studies. And if they want to broaden their horizons they should try getting up before lunch.

The camera reveals NICK giving her a pedicure, dressed as one of the Beauticians.

NICK
Actually love, you need an HE qualification to enter more and more jobs these days - so you don't know what you're on about.

He turns to address the camera.

The fact is, the better qualified you are the more money you're likely to earn in your career. There are all sorts of qualifications on offer, including degrees where you learn the skills for specific jobs.

You don't have to leave home and study full-time at uni; with a part time course you can earn as you learn.

The Heiress 'ahem's and wiggles a foot under Nick's nose. They exchange looks before Nick returns to the task in hand; 'accidently' buffing her toenails a bit too hard.

WEALTHY HEIRESS
Ow.

NICK
(Innocently)
Oh, sorry love.
