The document discusses the debate around whether university is worth it given the high tuition fees in the UK. While degrees are still necessary for careers like medicine, law, and architecture, other careers can now be pursued through apprenticeships or other training. The high costs of university have led many students, especially those from less wealthy backgrounds, to opt for more vocational courses or reconsider their plans to attend university altogether. There is an ongoing discussion around the value of a degree for careers that do not explicitly require one.

A College Education Has Become An Essential Part Of The American Dreamnoblex1
A college education has become an essential part of the American Dream for millions of families. Indeed, extensive polling and focus group research conducted by our coalition of higher education associations in the last year clearly demonstrates that the public overwhelmingly believes higher education is vitally important for personal success. Furthermore, they believe that all children should have the chance to attend postsecondary education and, despite the high price, that college is a "good value" for the money.
On the other hand, the public also is greatly concerned about the affordability of higher education, believes it is too expensive, and thinks that the price can be brought down without affecting academic quality. The public vastly overestimates the price of higher education at all types of colleges and dramatically underestimates the amount of financial aid that is available to help meet college bills. They don't know where student aid comes from or how to apply for it. Nor does the public understand why college prices increase. Most worrisome, perhaps, they think college leaders are indifferent to their concerns about the price of attending college. Our research also demonstrates that Americans worry about financing a college education. The lack of knowledge about paying for college is most acute among at-risk populations — first-generation college students, low-income families, and members of minority groups.
The great divergence between the value that the public places on having access to higher education and the lack of information they have about what it costs and how to afford it — what we call "the knowledge gap" — is deeply troubling. No one with a commitment to higher education can be satisfied with the news that the public is so poorly informed about issues of choice and access. It is surely a danger signal that the public believes college officials are indifferent to their fears about being able to afford a postsecondary education for their children.
THE NEED FOR A NATIONAL COALITION
What can be done? We believe that two related steps are absolutely essential. First, colleges and universities must redouble their efforts to explain college costs, the prices that students are charged, the amount and sources of financial aid that are available, and the options for financing a college education. We must reach out to a broad range of business, community, and religious organizations and solicit their support in improving public understanding.
Second, and no less important, colleges and universities must take strong steps to manage and contain costs, share innovative and successful cost management strategies, expand efforts to explain why costs increase on campuses, and talk candidly about the steps that have been taken to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

These days, college students have more to worry about than what classes to take next semester. Rising tuition expenses, mountains of debt, and the not-so-sunny outlook on the employment prospects of many popular career choices have increased the importance for both parents and future college students to examine their choices more thoroughly than ever before. Before mailing in the applications, use the available data wisely: research which majors have the most potential, and, more importantly, study each school’s return on investment—which is what, ultimately, you’ll earn back from your degree.

The new normal distance learning and new education options
University Opt In or Opt Out
1. University – Opt In or Opt Out
By Jess Wolckenhaar
An increase in university places at top institutions and the persistently high tuition fees,
is university still worth it for careers not requiring a degree?
This year’s A Level results took a surprising turn when those unfortunate students, who
missed their predicted grades, applied for Clearing. However, they soon became the lucky
ones, as top universities such as, Durham, UCL, Kings and Nottingham had a vast amount of
vacancies on a variety of courses, which Clearing students could take full advantage of.
Because of the high tuition fees and the considerable time it takes for this to be translated into
higher earnings , younger students have learnt from the older students (and their bank
balances) that perhaps university isn’t the be all and end all. Yet, what about the careers for
which a degree is mandatory? Aspiring doctors need a degree in their profession.
Successive governments wished to see more young people enter higher education which
necessitated charging tuition fees and subsequently their increase to £9,000. This, of course,
does not include the cost of accommodation, food, books and socialising. Although a
maintenance grant or loan, depending on parental income, goes some way to cover this
expenditure, there is still a shortfall which must either be filled by employment or the bank of
Mum and Dad. Some subjects, for example nursing, have now become degree courses when
formerly such vocations were studied "on the job".
Nevertheless, some careers can still be pursued through other means. There are various paths
available for those wishing to train as a solicitor with some candidates choosing to enrol on
legal executive courses as a way in. It can be argued, however, that for those wishing to
reach the pinnacle of their profession, such as top barristers, a law degree is invaluable, not
just for the skills acquired at university but also valuable networking with like-minded
individuals.
In recent months, apprenticeships have hit the headlines. It is felt that school leavers and
students alike do not have the skills required by employers. An apprentice can learn the
relevant skills on the job and also study part-time for a degree, funded by his or her employer.
A win-win solution?
The introduction of tuition fees and the high cost of living have led students from less
wealthy backgrounds to reconsider their plans for university or, at least to opt for more
vocational courses which might be more likely to lead to improved employment prospects.
2. Highly rated universities are now competing for students. Should all other non law,
architecture and medicine students, abstain from the university path and climb the career
ladder instead?
Why incur debts of £27,000+ and still graduate at the same level as those who had chosen the
career path instead. Or from an employer’s perspective, will the degree forever hold a certain
‘cream of the crop’ title for its title-holder?
