[Mos Def]

If yes, why? Coz i'm smart.
Coz I liked the idea of studying planes at Uni.
Coz I firmly believe that unless you're very lucky (or a footballer), then a degree is the only way to get a half decent job (for example, your starting salary will almost always be much higher than people who left school at 16, and have been working for 5/6 years before you even graduate).
I like the idea of learning new stuff.
I knew that i'd have a good time at Uni.

Did you gain anything from it? Yes. I currently have, in essence, two degrees and a job which is much cooler than yours.

Did you actually enjoy it? Aye, it was fucking amazing.

Are you glad you did? Absolutely

In your opinion, is getting a degree actually that important in terms of getting a well-paid job and getting ahead in life? Very much so unless, like I mentioned above, you're lucky or natually very talented at something specific. In my opinion, people without a degree will always be disadvantaged. Like I said (and not that I earn anything utterly fantastic), there will be some people that will work their whole life and not earn what I earn now (i've been working 5 months, this is my first job). Fair enough, money isn't everything, but anyone who says they don't want a pay rise is lying. Plus, again, my job is amazingly cool.
