Thanks in advance.

I have a friend who works in accy who has a degree in something computer related and he isnt on any particular higher wage than someone straight from college, or even school.
The university experience is a really good one though and could give you an extra foot in the door, but its not a subject that really requires a degree unless you want to do something thats difficult to get a good job in, such as large city firms with big names, but they'd still require u get work experience as well as the degree, so if your really dedicated just go straight into the most relevant work placements you can and work hard.
My boyfriend works with the lad with the degree, he has hardly any GCSE's, a few NVQ's through work, and he's not far off the same wage as his co-worker, so its not really worth the expense of the degree in my opinion.
