The trouble is that in certain circles the fact that you have an Oxford degree will get you a long way in your chosen career, regardless of whether you're any good at the job or not.
What sort of course are you doing?

One of the hardest things is that I know that I wont be able to get another degree that is as respected as the one I will get from Oxford. But I don't know if I can put myself through 4 years of misery to get that degree. But then I also don't know how the next four years are going to go, I could meet some very cool and down to earth people, and have a great time. Or I could not. Or I could go to another uni and hate it just as much there and come out of it with a worse degree. It isn't an easy choice to make...
I'm studying Classics, possibly the most useless degree one can do, but very interesting and fulfilling.
