Absolutely, i also feel your personal worth (as far as such a thing is measurable) is infinitiely more important than anything more tangible like a degree.
We've digressed a little from the point i was trying to make:
That government targets of 50% and lax entry requirements along with "university status" for all the old colleges devalues any degree that isn't impressive in its own right.

And that this in turn has lead to my own questioning of whether my degree is worth its cost if it isn't Oxbridge. I don't see this as throwing toys out of a pram.
Also, i stated that Advertising Marketing and sales would be the path i sought if i DIDN'T go to university, not neccessarily the one i would seek with my desired degree.

Incidentally Uk what line are you currently working in? i expect a vague answer (understandably) and feel you may have answered this before, if so my apologies.
