“A-level students must be told the whole truth about the value of a degree”
16 Aug 2012 Telegraph
“When [the government] trebled the cap on university fees, [they] justified this by arguing a university degree will “on average boost your earnings by £100,000 over a lifetime”. That would justify the average £40,000 of debt...imply[ing] disadvantage for those who give university a miss.”

“A-level students must be told the whole truth about the value of a degree”
16 Aug 2012 Telegraph
“There is something especially scandalous about young people who have been sold a vision of graduate life, only to find it was a piece of spin to sweeten the bitter pill of student loans. The mis-selling of higher education is one of the least remarked-upon scandals of our time.”

“A-level students must be told the whole truth about the value of a degree”
16 Aug 2012 Telegraph
Government released a research paper that spelt it out. For doctors and dentists, a degree is a prerequisite. They will earn £400,000 more over a lifetime, but for students admitted to less rigorous degrees, the premium quickly diminishes...History and Philosophy a paltry £35 a year more than non-graduates a degree in “Creative Arts” £15,000 less over a lifetime than those who start work aged 18.

“A-level students must be told the whole truth about the value of a degree”
16 Aug 2012 Telegraph
“If a degree is no guarantee of success in modern Britain, then the lack of one is no guarantee of failure. For those whose A-level results have precluded university, there is still all to play for.”
