later this year i will start doing exams to qualify to work for the company i am training with now. so for me uni was unnecessary.

Right now, I would say to anyone thinking that going to university is the way to go to get a career and get a well paid job that they're getting themselves in debt for no reason with unrealistic expectations. If money is what they're after, they better invest in starting a business and stop dumbing down classes. Most of my friends who never finished university make the same or more than I do. Usually more, with no debt to pay off. Anyway, if you want to learn something or have some sort of specific career it's unavoidable. It is a lot of fun tho.
I don't know. I went to university with a boy who spent the entire time sniffing glue out of a sock and now he has a high paid job.
