As a graduate, do you feel your degree was worth it, financially or otherwise? A new survey reveals that the proportion of people who believe a university degree is not worth the time and money has jumped from 14% in 2005 to 34% in 2025. The British Social Attitudes survey found that younger graduates, who have experienced the fee system, are more disillusioned than those who did not pay fees.
