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?

  • These days degrees have lost their true values, Universities are interested in gaining students for fees and the value and quality of education has dropped. After College there are so many other avenues that are far more profitable, such as business, apprenticeships. I’m in the legal industry and it is far too saturated.
