    100% agree, I did a good, well regarded STEM degree in a good university and all my classmates have very good, if not excellent jobs. Most owning houses in a nice suburbs. The varience in the standard of degrees and, as the poster above pointed out, your work ethic will generally dictate the outcome in the long run.

    University degrees are also for the general betterment of the person and of society as a whole. A good degree should make you a better critical thinker, teach you to work in teams, force you to expand your skillset and train your mind to think logically. These are just generally useful for life.

    And I know several people who work in cancer research, it's not quite the white unicorn the OP are making it out to be.

    You are talking about a third country who has voted to make itself poorer. The economy is completely different, the business circumstances are different, the investment opportunities are non existent and labour rights are very restricted. The only thing you have in common with the UK is a language and some documents that fit your views.

    If you want to make that argument, the support it from the actual labour market you are in the EEA.

    Sure if it doesn't work out become a science teacher you will always have a job even better if you can teach physics and a bit of maths.
