Yes, in my view.
However, I was swayed recently by what another member said as to heading straight to Uni and not really thinking more about what degree to go for.

I went to straight to Uni and got all I hoped for,I am aware too however that for some, more time between finishing education then going to Uni can be a good thing.

The important thing for me and I would say possibly for others is to go for a degree because you want to after analysing and thinking about all other options open as well.
