I think this thread proves a degree is often a complete waste of time and money.

For some...yes! BUT not if you want to do certain jobs, not everyone is driven by money 🙄 I followed my career path because I wanted to, I was never driven by it’s salary.

Stats would disagree with you on that. I think the average is currently around 10k more PA and £500k more over a life time.

The point about a degree being rubbish is rubbish in itself.

Probably the biggest career stopper/slower for women is having a family. Women change roles for family friendly hours, or go part time, or leave work altogether.

44yo
99k base
masters degree
2 kids

bebeboeuf · 23/06/2019 12:57

But in some instances it has

What about the men with degrees who haven’t taken time out for children or taken a step back in their career?

What about the women who choose to work FT whilst the men are SAHP.

There is still a huge amount of degree courses that do not achieve earnings that you could get from not being officially qualified

Why?

bebeboeuf · 23/06/2019 13:14

I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me at all.

Maybe what should be surprising is the amount of volunteers vs highly paid senior staff and directors making some charities have a wider pay gap than in banking sectors

RaininSummer · 23/06/2019 13:19

Degree, post grad certificate and 19k Pro rata whoop de whoop
