Was it worth going to University?

Mads

Given the state of the student loan system, especially from 2012-13 / Plan 2 / £9k (I can only sympathise). I went to university in England from 04-07. I completed a foundation & honours degree in Sports Science. Why? I loved it more than anything else in my life at the time. I turned a passionate hobby into a career, it didn't last long. Degrees I'm certain got me through the door in past interviews. If I had my time again I wouldn't go to university, I would hope to do an apprenticeship or join our armed forces. 

I'm curious about your experiences?

  • Definitely YES!  Because I never paid for it.  In the 1980s we got full grants, not loans,  later on for postgraduate study. Again the government paid all my fees and living expenses. 

    My time at university was the high point of my life, the real outside world is a nightmare.
