littlefarny should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Please people though, do not tar all motorsport courses with the same brush.
Some are pretty crap at poor universities, whereas some are essentially Mechanical Engineering honours degrees, but instead of planes and trains in the examples, it's racing cars.

If your only reason for not going to Uni is because you know people that are in debt, then perhaps it might not be for you, and to be fair, I hope it's not.
There would then be no rhyme or reason to me spending 5/6 years of my life, and getting around £45,000 in debt if someone could walk into the jobs that I want to be occupying with a 1 year college course.

I might not be the most hands on person in the world, but am deffinately dedicated to the theory and data side, and hopefully this will open the doors to me learning my practical craft as well - and I think that this is the only way round this works. Not having any technical knowledge, but just being able to use a torque-wrench will not get you into the upper echelons these days.
