£60,000 to train me and then let me go - what a waste

I am a nursing student due to qualify next March. In my final theoretical block, I have to submit two 2,500- word assignments, a 2,000-word assignment, a 1,000-word CV/action plan and a 6,500-word portfolio, all to obtain a qualification that is unlikely to lead to employment. So forgive me if my enthusiasm is muted.
