Two tier experience of university

Suprise, suprise! Working to earn money whilst at university affects your degree grades and is more prevalent among students from lower socio-economic backgrounds than those from more affluent homes, who can therefore afford to undertake unpaid, CV-enhancing work experience. Did it really need a 3 year study to come up with that result? What they also don't say in the report is that those students who stay locally to attend their local university, more of them end up in non-graduate level work or under-employed, than those who move away to university. Funny how they pick and choose the bits of the report they want to highlight, and ignore others!! The current crop of students on my employability skills course reflect this very well...
