Never went to Uni.
Had a really good school education, which enabled me to get the job/career that I followed for 33 Years.
Thats just me. Uni suits some people, although the amount of debt that can arise is appalling.
Learning for learnings sake is a wonderful idea. Sadly, in the current climate, it doesn't sound very practical.
Off on a tangent.
When I was at the Beeb, we would occasionally get some work experience kids to visit us.
When asked what they did, they would say (very proudly)
"I'm doing a degree in Media Studies"
The sound of a sinking heart!
My thoughts...Yep, you and 20000 others. Number of places available at the BBC this year??? about 5.
Not much hope then.
