I am quite sure statistically she stands a better than average chance of getting a higher paying job with her degree, that she would have without it.
Nobody can ever take it away, and it's a moment to be proud of.
All you need to succeed in university is money to get in, pay your way etc, and absolute will power. Just treat it like a job, and bob's yer
uncle.

4 years though, its a bit of a killer! My friends are all doing PhDs, im drastically underqualified compared to them!
If I dont get into medicine next year then im doing a masters instead. At the minute im just on a anti-career break

my brothers signed up for 3.5 years having just finished 5 years of chemistry (cause we normally do an extra year this side of the border)
but he recons any real job he'd want would be almost the same work (just better paid  )
I couldn't do one myself, I only just managed the to get my BEng! (athough that was a while ago now...)

I got lucky with the degree I chose and walked straight off the masters course into one of the highest demand jobs in the engineering sector.
Loads of my mates struggling badly for work, and casual summer work is dead.
Best of luck to her!

Naval Architect / marine engineer
When I say highest demand I mean in relation to supply...
there will be about 80 in total graduating from three universitys in the whole of the uk this year, whereas mechanical engineering is more like a
hundred or more from each and every university.

I did mech eng. - but that didn't stop me from going on to do structural engineering
then 9 months later the other engineer quit (fell out with the boss/ customers) and left me as the only engineer
so you definatly don't need to get a job that directly relates directly to your degree

There's always opportunities, there are just much fewer now and I know that everyone off my course bar 3 found jobs while a lot of people I know
finishing a masters in mechanical this year are considering a year out or further study as they cant get work.
