Should I go to University?


Asked by the*right*slipper
I am finishing a course next year and want to go to onto university to study Tourism and Heritage. I hope to work in a stately home after the degree. I have always been fascinated by stately homes, ever since I was little. The thing is I don't know whether to go straight into employment after my course or give the degree a go before embarking on a career in the heritage industry, like The National Trust. Would getting a degree necessarily give me a better career with higher prospects and better money? Or would experience alone be just as good? Does anyone reading this, work for any heritage industries and have any good answers?

You can probably get such a job without university. But university will give you more flexibility later. At this age, you don't know if you will love to work in the heritage industry all your life, or if you will want to seek other opportunities later.
