The gouvernment are really putting alot of money into aprenticeships at the moment to try and combat the few uni students who spend thousands on a particular course and never get into that line of work because they cant or because they never actually did any experience in the job so didnt really know what it was all about.
IMO, unless your going for a job where uni qualifications are essential (medicine, law etc), its better to go for a apprenticeship. That pretty bit of paper you get at the end might not be as high as a uni one but you are much more desireable to most employers and chances are you will end up in a job with the company you did your apprenticeship in anyway. Also means you know how to do the job. Weve had several uni grads join up to our company recently who are qualified up to the eyeballs and they cant seem to put their qualifications to use!
