The Times: 'The university challenge: to find a job'
Published 22 September 2009
The Times carries a story on research by Professor Ian Walker which finds that the long-term financial returns of a university education vary dramatically, depending upon gender and degree course. "An average graduate who hasn't worked hard will now find that he is 20,000 pounds in debt and hasn't got an asset because he's gambled it away on partying," says Walker. "But if he does work, he could earn 30 per cent more than he would have otherwise for the rest of his life."
