The Freelance Informer - startup or degree?
New research has found that almost half of former university students would advise against pursuing a degree. Instead, for those with a great idea, they suggest launching a business instead or, at the very least, getting out into the workplace and gaining practical experience (rather than bumming around getting hammered in the union bar, caning it and studying Plato's forms for three years). What are your thoughts? Get a degree first, go straight into a start-up, or get a degree then try your hand at a start-up so at least you have a degree to fall back on if it goes belly up?
