I left Uni two years ago, in those two years I attended 64 interviews. I got non of the jobs, they all said I needed more experience. Cant get the experience if no one gives me a job. So what am I doing now, I'm doing two night courses at college (paid for by me) and working for 12K as an admin assistant gaining experience and feeling like a total looser as people who left school at 16 pass me earning £20 - 27K when they didn't even get a GCSE.

Uni is a waste of time and money. If you want to get a good job then get a job out of school and work upwards or do a vocational course.

Uni is a bad thing in today's job market, people hate graduates and have the idea that they will be stuck up and pompous.

This is my experience, opinion and personal thought.

Sounds familear, took me 2 and half years or so to get into a proper job using my computer science degree. and a large number of failed interviews. The only good thing is that I learnt from my failed interviews and got better at selling myself.
