Having just switched from my third year at University to do a placement (“sandwich” – unfortunately not edible) year at TweetMeme, I’ve been talking to a lot of people about University, what you can get out of it, what you want out of it, and whether this placement is the right thing to do (it turns out I’m doing it now, so I won’t discuss that here).
What I would like to talk about, however, is why I think a degree is important to have in your education.
