Do you think there's still value in teenagers and young adults (or mature students!) getting a degree?

Depends on which career. I'm going into teaching so it's necessary for me to get a degree. But some, you could probably do without I suppose.

Of course there is, it shows you can dedicate yourself to 3yrs of study and have the skills set to apply yourself in theory and in practice.

But no I'm sat in the library right now procrastinating on an essay that's due Tuesday and that I have no motivation to do (along with another 3000 word piece) and I'm wondering just what is the point So this thread is probably badly timed |

Not exactly vocational then, what's wrong with others getting degrees in their area of interest at the the universities you listed?

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.

Obviously some degree courses are more useful than others, and equally attending certain Universities will give you better prospects than attending others, but overall I reckon it's still worth the time and money if you put enough effort in and make those three years count. Yes it's not easy to get a job afterwards, but it would likely be a lot harder to move into a decent skilled career with good promotion prospects without one these days.

Depends what you want to do. Obviously for lawyers and that its all essential. But in general, degrees are useless and I do think a lot of people go to uni just for the lifestyle rather than giving a damn about education

Only if you continue studying. In terms of job getting, employers favor vocational/career school more.
At least that´s how it is out here. |
