Many people look back on their time at university as the best days of their life, but a surprising number would take a different degree if they could choose again.
A survey of graduates three years on from leaving higher education indicates that more than a third wish that they had opted for a different course. In some subjects, more than half regretted their choice.
The study, published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA, www.hesa.ac.uk ), underlines the need for close scrutiny of both the content of your chosen course and the prospects for employment afterwards. Not surprisingly, the results are closely linked to graduates' satisfaction with their early career experiences.
