Ive finished college and have got offers from different universities

The thing is that if i go uni and pay 27k for only a degree and struggle to get a job after where as doing an apprenticeship i will gain experience and degree

What is your opinion on apprenticeship and university?

I'd go for an Apprenticeship. University you can do at anytime in your life. And it costs a lot and you may not even get a job after doing 5 years or more.

Apprenticeship on the other hand. You learn and get paid. And majority of the time get a full time job right after with the same company that hired you for an Apprenticeship.

It depends on several factors:

What are you planning to study?

What do you want to do after?

etc

Also keep in mind that you don't start repaying your tuition until you're earning >21,000GBP per year and even then the repayments are quite small, finance shouldn't be an issue.

Generally speaking though going to university is better.

Is a System enginner someone who Builds/Fixes computers ? If so, I have wanted to become one. Is the money good enough though?
