Get your degree to be a winner in the work race
Article Abstract:
Employers in the UK are much more likely to consider applicants who have a degree than those who do not. Indeed, those who become successful in business without having first gained a degree are very unusual. Employers can be certain that a university education will have provided applicants with the sort of intelligence needed in a rapidly changing business environment. Furthermore, many university courses are now placing more emphasis on skills such as communication and flexibility.
