TAFE or UNI

At the end of the day, you have to compare apples with apples and not all uni degrees and institutions are operating at the same level.

I guess I see part of what you're saying. But my wife has done a Bachelor of Psychology and is now doing here Bachelor of Law. Her best friend is currently studying to be a Doctor (not sure how her strucutre goes as I think she had to do a different Undergraduate first- but she's 4 years in) and they both don't find it that dificult either. Really, they're not doing a great deal of work at all, and still succeed easily at their degrees.

See, my wife finds Law as easy as - but could never be a teacher. I found studying to be a Teacher and my Bachelor of IT as easy as, but was horrible at woodwork in highschool and could never be a tradesman.

The issue is -> studying Law or Medicine IS NOT harder than working a trade or similar - if that is what you are gifted at. Law at uni is not dificult if it's what you enjoy, grab some Law students and throw them into a trade course and see how well they do then compared to the guys interested in Trade :
