I used to use TSR regularly back in 2009/10 while I was at the University of Sheffield studying maths.
I won't go into the pros and cons of Sheffield university unless somebody has specific questions.
I would prefer to offer my opinions on whether it was actually worth going to university.
I now own my own business and frankly, for me, it wasn't worth going to university.
After university I went into accounting.
It would have been better for me to go into accounting after I finished sixth form and study the AAT/ACCA qualifications rather than a degree.
I would have made faster progress in my career.
As a business owner, my degree hasn't helped me whatsoever.
Sure, it's positive to have good mathematical intuition, but I feel this was already well developed after I had completed my A-levels.
I'm not trying to put anybody off of doing a degree. Everybody's circumstances are different and some paths may require a degree.
I guess I'm simply saying that you should have a specific reason why you would like to do a degree: it should be part of a long-term plan, rather than the 'natural next step' after college.
I hope somebody finds this short post useful.
