absolutely not. get yourself a retail job and save your money up.
university is a waste of money and it comes with no greater chance of employment.
literally none of my uni friends use their degrees, we're in our thirties now.

Uni is literally only good if you're going into STEM/Medical. College is way more useful.

you will live paycheck to paycheck with a retail job. Some of my friends just graduated, I'm two years behind, and one of them is working for a major bank and the other is starting with a managemant consultancy firm. Non-graduate jobs almost entirely pay minimum wage. If you've got the option op, you should go. Pick a course that actually interests you - you need passion to do well in it. In my experience, the reputation of the university is the most important factor, second being degree grade (as long as you get a 2.1 you're fine), and third being subject (assuming you are not looking for STEM work, in which case reverse the order).
If you want to do a liberal arts degree rather than STEM, its really important you go to a uni with a good reputation, preferably russell group. Otherwise, I suggest looking into vocational degrees such as STEM. Happy to answer more questions, I'm in my 3rd year at edinburgh university

A retail job will just have me stuck in retail wont it?

Not worth it. Get into a trade or specialised labour work like HGV driving. Project management qualifications or some shit like that. Fuck University
Liam Bennett
If i go university im 100℅ either doing maths or possibly engineering. However i just dont want to do more school. I just want to move out and get a job without sacrifcing my future career. It's the only reason i ask. Thanks for the advise i'll take it into account when applying.

Kinda, be prepared to do a lot of study/ learning shit by yourself.
It's ez to cheese a 1st as a fair few universities calculate your final grade by taking only your final year minus a module... Ez win
Asides from that having a student loan really isn't that big of a deal since you need to be earning >22k a year (off the top of my head) and it's scrapped after 30 years.

Do you have experience in it yourself? Where can i find out more?
Thomas Murphy
i worked retail for 5 years, now i pull in £40k.
you only get stuck in retail if you're idle.
