Congrats. I disagree that university is pointless. Speciailly in the IT Industry anyway. If you want to come out of education at least in my industry and start on £30,000 or more, you've got to have gotten a degree.
All serious employers in my country won't employ anyone other than graduate level applicants.
So, congrats again!

@Horrordee thanks for congrads, and I also think that degree helps alot, otherwise I wouldn't go to university... It helps you find better job, so 5 years of studying pays back... thnx again

If it's anything like here, depends on which university and course you chose (course? is that the word? My english fails with only 3 hours of sleep)
Anyway, congrats, and once again, if it's anything like here, enjoy your freshman year, it's one of the (if not the) best |

Im in the same country as you. If i had gone to university i would have done completely the wrong thing, my a-level decisions were rushed and ridiculous.
I got recognised for my current job on talent alone rather than a piece of paper.

It completely depends on what course you're doing and what industry you intend to become involved in. What is your current profession?
For me, a degree is essential to pursuing the career I want.

designer/illustrator...
i have no qualifications in art and design. it has been a hobby from a young age. i was told that i would need some sort of qualification, and yet here i am doing what i love.
im not dismissing university completely, but for some people it is completely pointless. ive had more LIFE experience in the last 6 years of my life than most people who go to university.

The reason you managed to succeed is the only option you had was a BA anyway, which lets be honest isn't worth the paper it's written on.
As I and someone else also stated, it depends on the industry. Most people in art just blag their way into industry, as an education doesn't really help your profession.
