The government considers higher education to be a route into employment. Did anyone here actually get a job because of their degree?

Hmmm. Not really. I mean, the fact I have one looks quite good, but I suspect showing I could work in the real world and a few lucky chances were far more instrumental in getting me here. Mind you, when I started it I always knew mine was hardly a vocational degree.

To answer your question, however, I do believe that having been to university at all puts you a step up the ladder for work. I won't say it necessarily increases your chances of work, because I believe that I've not got jobs I very much needed and would happily have done (ie, food, office and bar work) because I was overqualified.
