Mate, tip from me!

Graduated a year ago, now 23, just about to start my ATPL training.

Went to uni, had the best 4 years of my life (spent a year abroad living in Madrid) and have never regretted it (apart from maybe the beer belly).

Uni makes you a much more rounded individual. I am much more of an appealing person on my CV now having done my degree and associated activities at uni than I was when I left college with 3 A-levels and a load of caps under my belt for the school football team.

However, depends on how old you are. If you're just finishing A-levels, I would recommend highly doing a degree, if for the experience than anything else. If you are thinking of getting a degree as a mature student maybe think twice if you think age might be a negative factor in job-hunting when you graduate.
