Oh my god YES, for the experience if nothing else. I have loads of debt, but i wouldnt have traded those 3 years for anything. I moved away from home, learned some very valuable lessons and made some amazing friends.
In my office they hire some people straight from college at 18 who still live at home, and you can really tell the difference between 90% of them and the uni graduates. They act like they're still at school! The girls all try to form cliques and bully each other, they all compete over who has the nicest clothes and who has the most friends, and they fight over the boys. Going to uni really gets people away from that playground mindset, it's a great stepping stone from childhood to adulthood, and that is a VERY valuable thing professionally- these people I speak of are not as popular with management.
This is a bit of a generalisation of course, plenty of people who don't go to uni are perfectly mature, but some people could really benefit from it, whether the actual qualification is going to help you or not.

If you are dedicated to a certain career that you can only get by going to university then it is. As long as the outcome at the end of the 3 or 4 years studying is that you are able to pursue in a career you want, it is definitely worth it. The only time that it wouldnt be worth the money is if you was going to university as something to do in your life and had no intentions or career path after university.

If you are talking about media studies at a former poly then NO. If you find a serious course and a good quality university and you get a good degree, then your employability will be virtually bomb proof.

Statistics show a strong positive correlation between education and income.

not if you're doing teaching as there's a good chance you won't get a job at the end of it
