With Tuition Fees Rising, Potential Students Wonder If It's Worth It
Government Ministers will parrot the line that higher tution fees won't stop people from applying to go to University. Yet with students final debt burden likely to be around the £60,000 mark, it is obvious searching questions will be asked regarding the real value of such an education
With little sign of growth, graduate jobs will continue to be thin on the ground. The hirers' market will be reflected in the depressed salaries on offer, and thousands of graduates will be hitting the dole queue. Many will be saddled with astronomical debt and with scant prospect of extricating themselves.
With the outlook for gradutes so bleak, the usefulness of a university education will inevitably be questioned. Students and their parents will wonder if a degree is any longer a strict necessity, whether it might be better to defer or pass up the option. Applications for vocational courses are sure to rise, with arts and humanities squeezed as they have fewer practical applications. And many debt-squeezed students are likely to remain under their parents roof.
With job security largely seen as a thing of the past, the 'school-university-job for life' tradition will no longer be embarked upon unquestioningly with young people looking for alternative routes, perhaps by gaining some career experience first and saving some money before embarking on any field of study.
Picking up genuine business skills and knowledge, combined with a targeted course such as an HND in Business, may not only be a cheaper option but also the one giving the greater chance of success.
A further factor is the growth of courses online, with more attracted to the freedom of study through distance learning. Students can study wherever they can plug in their laptop, at any time of day.
Similarly, students need not simply go to university to study – and then stop once they leave. They can always be improving themselves, with their study tailored to specifically enhance their career, rather offering often marginal relevance as it often is now.
With the future a big scary wall marked 'debt', a generation is being forced to take a less conventionally-structured and a more liberating approach to study. However difficult the initial transition, the change will bring practical benefit to their futures.
