Across the UK and around the world this month there are thousands of anxious students awaiting AS and A-level results. Many will hope that a set of good grades will get them into their choice of university. But is all that hard work, revision and money worth it?

The study also found nearly half believe they could've been just as successful in their careers without a degree, or the average of $57,000 in student debt they've ended up with. So is a degree the passport to a paid, stable job like it once was? Vishala Sri-Pathma asked Iwan Willams, careers adviser at the UK Department for Education's Exam Results Helpline.
