It’s not relevant anyway, only trades make real money in UK.

No they don’t. Only the top percentile who have a business, are hyper specialised, or risk their lives in a particular trade make good money.

Corporate jobs will always pay more than trades on average, and the extremes. The question whether it’s worth it to get into uni debt for that. I’d say uni is only worth it if you go to top 10 (LSE, Oxbridge, top Russell groups ect).

The thing is if you’re clever enough to do a degree you’re damn sure clever enough to become one of the trades who can start a business.

I guess it depends on the degree. If it’s STEM, yeah. Opening a business is much harder and riskier than just studying your content, even if it’s hard like maths or physics.

Also you can always retake a module to get a higher grade at uni, but with a business if it fails, your money is gone.

I have an engineering masters but my job is still wage slavery and even if I sweat it and go for all the promotions I’ll still barely match inflation.

I get paid something like £35 an hour before taxes, ANY tradie makes more than that.

I think engineering is just very underpaid in general in the UK except very particular fields like nuclear or oil from what I understand.

Law, finance, insurance (Typical city of London careers) pay well still but very hard to get into

I’m in oil, this is the high end and it’s truly depressing.
I think careers like you describe are Connections Only.
