Is it worth going to university? Will it still get you ahead of the game?

Question

Great life experience, that also gets you valuable qualifications? A big bill for little return? Or somewhere in

Answer 1

People with a University Degree generally start out earning significantly more than those without one, and the annual growth in their salary tends to be higher, also. However, a degree does not guarantee money, happiness or job satisfaction!

In choosing a job or career path (just like choosing a life partner), you should always try to pursue the thing you would love to do anyway, even if the money were no object. It is always better to be poor & happy than rich & miserable. Most rich & miserable people have serious stress problems because they can't understand why they are so unhappy when they have everything they think they want.

Of course, the best thing to be is very lucky, then you can be rich & happy!

Answer 3

Statistics show people with a university degree make a higher lifetime income on average. Thats all I know about it. For me so far, it has been a big bill for little return but you will have to ask me that again in 60 years if I am still alive and well. Just showing you have completed the demands of university can tell alot about your cababilities to do alot of jobs. When people with higher education are abundant than it starts comming down to how well you do, what you study, where you attend and just where you are looking for a job geographically.

Answer 4

Yeah course, uni gives u so much experience, not only knowledge in a specific area but 4 ur cv it shows ur independant, confident, reliable and determined because uni is a choice not mandatory. If u want to be a specialist in a particular field then it saves training at work that takes so much longer than a degree course! I'm studing a accounting and finance course to become a chartered accountant takes 3 yrs @ uni, training @ wrk between 5&7 yrs!

Answer 5

Um... I just want to get a degree to do something I love. Whether I gain life experience or it gives me valuable qualifications for a job is the least of my worries. I just want to study and learn so I can have that knowledge.

Answer 6

i started work from 16 and my gf went to uni and graduated. she has been working for nearly 4 years and she is still earning 4k a year less than me. the main reason she struggled to get the right job was comments of you have the degree but no experience. i would suggest going into the industry you want to be in at the bottom, then study for qualifications in it as you progress. you wont have a 15k debt at the end of it too!

Answer 7

obtaining a degree isn't just hard work but its always a rewarding and fulfilling ambition too. whatever course you choose to study, make sure that it is one that's going to make the most of the talents, abilities and knowledge you've already got. plus, you have to be passionate about the subject you are studying- there's no point doing a course in physics if you don't like science, figures and stuff like that! always give it 110% in everything you do because university is a different kettle of fish compared to school and college. study well and study hard, but at the same time, enjoy your time there. you'll make new friends and meet people on your courses. some people who go to university for instance however, go just to get drunk and laid; for me i chose to go to university because i wanted to obtain a degree and to eventually end up in a good profession.

don't let tuition fees put you off from pursuing your ultimate goal- even though the labour party are a bunch of arseholes for doing so.

Answer 8

Depends what you major in. A degree in Chemistry will get you a lot farther than 3 degrees of Music, Theater, and Art, for example. Many jobs now that used to not require degrees, do. Times are changing and if you're not willing to work hard for a good job, then there are pleanty of other people who are willing to jump at the opportunity.

Answer 9

Definitely it is worth going to University. You will get better understanding of the subject and will become the base for further studies. At young age this is possible and that is the reason I advise students to complete university education at one stretch without giving any break.

It used to be worth it. Now there are so many Mickey Mouse degrees, employers are dubious. Its still better to have a degree than not when it comes to promotion. I think qualifications of any sort are worth it- oh apart from golf studies- if its a subject your interested in, then go for it.
