How useful will a university degree be?
Give me an answer that is concrete. I'm very curious.

Totally depends on the University and the grade of the degree. In UK the top grade is a First and the bottom grade is a Third. If you don't get a First or a 2.1, really it's been a waste of time. The only exception to that are professions where it has been decided (for politically correct reasons) that everyone has to have a degree no matter what the quality of that degree.

@sarahcupcake I think we're losing touch with real education. Finland's education where students explore what they want, and these students seem to know what is important to learn which are the usual Math Science, so on, but they willingly do it. That sounds more pleasant than the current in most countries.

It's basically a fact that the educational standards in UK have historically been dumbed down to pander to so called league tables. @DrWongKC
