Do you regret going to University?

[Hannah]

I kind of regret not going, but at the same time I'm glad.

I have my eye on accountancy and I've just started a distance learning course for that - however my initial choice for university was to study English Literature.

I'm sad I didn't go because of how much I wanted to have a career in English Literature - but I would have possibly regretted it and wanted to do accounting had I gone - and that would have been over 40k in student loans I'd have to pay back and I'd have been no closer.

[Zak]

No as it's a prerequisite for most interviews

Nope, got my degree and needed it for my job.

Thank you.

I've applied as a trainee accountant in a few places too, including London which is going to kill me cost-wise.

But experience on the job while learning will help me out a lot.

I did two years at university and the registry I had to hand my work in was closed for staff development and wouldn't accept my work... the day I was going on holiday so I failed my entire second year so I never went back. I do regret it now, especially the university I chose.
