I got a degree, (many years ago) - ended up moving back to my home town to stay with my old mates from school !
It seemed that everyone who got jobs straight after GCSE's/ A levels were all doing well (5 or 6 working in IT). All had cars - some had houses.
The only benefit of the degree is getting job apps put at the top of the heap, and advancing further quicker in jobs etc. It wont really help you get the job - but it'll get you into the interview !
Now - 7 years on - those of us who went to college have nearly caught up with the folks who started work 3 years earlier, (except one who's progressed to a 6 figure salary before he was 20 !!! ) - (although they havn't gotta pay off huge student loans, and seemed to turn into bizarre adults very quickly !!!)
Definatly worth doing tho' - three years 'studentism', a good break before starting the drudge which is likely to become the rest of your life. (I mean.. - four weeks ish holiday a year, now whats that all about !!! - still wishing i had 22).
