I knew no-one of my age or back ground who went to University.
I do know that many of us made successes of our lives....some of us went on to further education, many took on apprenticeships.

actually knew a few that did including one that went to girton college cambridge. however in the words of jean brodie, they were the creme de la creme. however i imagine that many of us if we were around now would have gone. a different world nowadays regarding education. whether its a better world i really doubt it. would have loved to have done a 3 year doss drinking and partying with a bit of study on dandilions and buttercups effect on the environment.
