Been seeing this thread and resisted the urge to comment until now. Candle says that not going to Oxbridge makes his degree worthless but then comes out with the statement he wants to go into sales and marketing, well those jobs are easy to come by at a high level with a dossers degree from a dump uni, that is not a career where they expect Oxbridge education. The degree classification is more important, I have friends with a 1st from mediocre unis working at top M and A houses and then friends with a 2:2 from oxford who could not break into that business. Seems like you are going over board and throwing your toys out the pram, just make sure you go to a decent uni and get a decent degree result, it's true you don't need a degree to get on in life but for certain careers it is neccessary.
