Wot the **** sort of degree is this "Live Events", what does he hope to achieve with this type of Degree?
The live events industry is huge (as already pointed out by oxides) and is currently growing (or at least the live music side is) as artists are no longer making as much money from their record sales (downloads are much cheaper than CD's and often illegal) they are increasingly turning to large scale arena tours to make their money. More + bigger tours = more jobs.
what will his Noble Prize be for?
Hard to believe i know but its not everyones ambition in life to be recognised as an incredible academic (or peace maker) and be awarded a nobel prize but I'm one of the few!
By the sounds of it will be Plagiarism?
"Go anywhere, Do anything"
I would sugesst you use take your work literally and go somewhere else.
It is possible for someone to have heard something somewhere before (maybe years and years ago) and for it to seem like its something that they have come up with themselves. If anything, I say hats off to jeep for coming up with something which sticks in your mind so well!
This place is no place for the sensitive types... we could make Clarkson, Cry.
Despite me having only just joined the forum (as I'm sure you looked up before writing the rant) I have actually owned and worked on Land Rovers for several years and so have turned to this forum many a time (without posting) to look for advice on how to fix something or what that weird noise could be or where the good green lanes are at etc and as far as i can tell, everyone on here is very friendly and helpful (thanks to everyone's suggestions so far - i'll get round to replying to them in a moment).
Dude go back to the S.U. Bar.
We don't have an S.U. bar because I'm actually enrolled on a revolutionary new degree being run by a company who are a massive player within the industry and am working alongside big names in the performance side of the industry every day as part of the course.
I'm at university from 9:30 till at least 4 most days of the week (and sometimes at the weekend) being taught by people at the very top of the specific sector of the industry which we are learning about at the time.
Outside of those times, we are working on designs for things like product launches and music events as well as doing research into other parts of the industry so that we are ready to start learning about them when we get to them We also work within the industry during our free time in the evenings and weekends to gain vital experience and earn a bit of money along the way as well as attending short one or two day courses to gain extra qualifications such as cherry picker driving or first aid.
In 12 months of studying I'll (hopefully) have my foundation degree but more importantly be fully prepared to enter the industry and (again, hopefully) be successful within it.
Basically, i have no time to be hanging around in an S.U. bar doing nothing when i could be studying not to mention the fact that i am actually based in a small old mining village in Yorkshire so there is no S.U bar, not really any pubs and certainly no nightclubs. The most excitement i have all week is the pub quiz on a tuesday at the local working mens club.
You will pass this type of course, Graduate
I bloody well hope so.
and become a School teacher,
I bloody well hope not (no offence to any teachers - children really annoy me 
)
or even someone who walks around a big tent selling something.
I know several people who walk around big tents selling things to people who are very successful at it.
By the way these statements do not require you to comment.
No they don't require my comment but your unprovoked attack on someone who has posted a harmless (as far as i can see anyway) thread in an otherwise friendly forum was completely uncalled for and i felt it only right to defend myself a bit.
If you have something constructive to add to this thread then please do but if not then do please keep your opinions to yourself in future.
