That's an issue today for both uni goers and non uni goers.

But there are jobs that also require degree level education.

This is the thing, it really depends what job you want to do. Some require education, others experience.

yes but there are an awful lot of young folk go and its like a 3 year piss up and at the end of it apply for jobs that are not looking for degrees so they end up getting jobs where their bosses are the same age as them but already have 3 or 4 years experience.

You don't know what they want, if they see you took a media degree at uni it will look much better then seeing you have worked before and have some experience

and as for today I am completely behind Labour

Most media corded are constantly adapting with the media industry. Also allot of them are heavily practice based (which in my opinion is a lot harder then writing a few essays on social learning theory. All of the ones I've seen also require you to do a certain number of hours of work experience placements. So with a media degree you leave uni trained and prepared for working in the industry.

Bang on Right

Some careers require the education.

There's pros and cons to both avenues. Depends upon the person.

If you want to join your dad plumbing then obviously uni is a waste of time for you.

Sounds like the streetwalkers wing in a women's jail - that's full of pros and cons.

I don't really understand the fuss about student debts, as they only need to be paid back once you are earning a certain amount anyway.

My mum and dad are going to remortgage the house to pay for my brothers uni fees outright.

Yes Labour is going on about it


I agree with what you say
Wise Vicky

[Samuel.]

University hasn't only taught me well, I've grown considerably as a person since going. The changes I've gone through personally have been worth way more to me then the degree at the end of it. Regardless of the job prospects going forward, I feel more ready for life than I could have imagined as the timid hermit I was previously. This doesn't apply to everybody but it's been so vital for me; I found myself.

Completely agree. Having to earn over 21k to pay back around £30 a month, roughly the same as a mobile phone contract, is nothing really.

And this, very well stated.

There are people that I met on my first day of first year University and was still living with 4 years later, on our last day in a shared house. All of us were very, very different people on that last day than the kids who arrived on the first day of freshers week. This is largely true of everyone I met through University.

Majority of the guys who went straight into employment and didn't move more than a couple of miles from home, as far as I can tell, were exactly the same people aged 22 as they were when I knew them at school aged 16. ****, I'm nearly 30 now and from what I've seen most of them are STILL exactly who they were at 16 .
