Should I bother going to uni next year?

I've applied to do business studies, but I'm not sure it's what I want to do.

People i've spoken to who went (most of them had dropped out so may be biased in opinion) said that you don't learn any essential skills at uni, and it seems like you go just to get a certificate at the end of it. Then there's tuition fee's, over £10,000 of debt at the end of it.

Does University guarantee a better paid job when you leave? My brother has an Automotive Design degree but works in a boring office for Network Rail. (Not really living the dream)

However others have told me that it's worth it just for the lifestyle. But I like to look a little longer in the future than 3 years, and I'm seriously considering either doing an apprenticeship with BAE sytems or joining the RAF!

Little help?
