T Levels. Yay or Nay?

[Doofus]

I don't have children and I no longer do anything useful for a living, so I've only today heard of T-Levels.

What little I've read makes them seem like a good idea, and something potentially of value to employers.

So, parents of PH: T's or A's ?

[shtu]

Not a parent, but my immediate thought is - how marketable are these?

Many employers will have never heard of them, be sceptical they are for the dullards, whatever. Doesn't matter if they really are "equivalent to 3x A Levels", the only people that decide that are the people hiring staff. I'd never heard of them until today, and I won't be alone there.

I am broadly in support of career paths that don't invlove getting a degree in whatever course you could get at Tinpot University of Milton Keynes, but that isn't easy - sure, become a plumber and be on loadsamoney in your early twenties, then realise that's the ceiling for earnings and you'll be too broken to keep doing it past 55.
