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?

  • I studied part-time at three different unis, three times, for my undergraduate degree, PGCE and Masters. Although I wasn’t able to work full time all the rest of the time, university was definitely worthwhile. It broadened my outlook, improved self-esteem and helped me grow as a person. It helped me gain employment in the area I wanted to work in.

    I’m happiest when I’m studying for the sake of studying and I would love to return to university for further study.
