Not Going to Uni!

Text from the site, which is still under contruction but looks very interesting, says:
Are you leaving college and want to know the alternatives to higher education?
Are you currently unhappy at university?
You may even be a parent worried about your children's options or an employer wishing to seek a dynamic and fresh new employee.
At Not Going To Uni we understand your needs.

Did you know?
Recent research shows that 3 years after graduation, 60% of graduates are in jobs which do not require a degree.
The average student is lumbered with a £15,000 debt, some rising to over £30,000 with the average "debt sentence" being 11 years!
The pressure of going to university is set to grow with the government's plans to have 40% of the British workforce to be qualified to degree level by 2020.
Despite an £800m attempt to prevent it, almost 1 in 4 students leave university before completing their studies.

This site which is promoting the idea that university is not the answer for all is an antidote, perhaps, to all those places where "university is good for you" is all you can read.
