all people who say about uni go on and say about the jobs they can get after earning x amount. the people who say no point are the ones who are out there with a job and know what its like to have a proper job (not saying you all dont know at uni) i mean career job, they have seen it first hand and have experience of what its like out there getting started.
i know you all say people who go to uni and work in asda and so on are the ones that did shit degrees, but those who are doing good degrees, it could also happen to you, the way country is going/is there wont be that much money about, not much money to invest. the way things are, and ive seen this from experience, companies are going for people with experience over fresh out the box grads.

im looking into going onto the oil rigs, mechanical maintenance engineers earn £50k+ and require a degree in mechanical engineering.
also, im 24 and have been working since 16, full time since 19 in the same job. ive got an nd in motor vehicle so have hands on experience as well. hopefully i wont be seen as a "fresh out the box grad"
either way mechanical engineering is hard and will always look good on my cv, and with my experience in the insurance industry i have that to go back to.
id say most peolpe with a worthwhile degree earn more than if they didnt have one though eventually
