Ex-Eastenders star Michelle Collins has revealed all about regret at not going to university. She has also revealed her thoughts and opinions on higher education and whether it can indeed improve your job prospects.

A poll released on behalf of the Department for Innovation, Universities & Skills (DIUS) reveals that the majority of parents (80%) who didn't attend Higher Education after leaving school regret it.

In fact, 16% believe that they would now have a better career and 13% would have had a better future if they had continued into Higher Education.

Having watched her own mother and sister return to Higher Education as mature students and, as a mother herself, Michelle Collins is well-placed to share her views on the topic.

The video includes more information about why Michelle regretted her decision to pass over the opportunity of continuing with Higher Education, as well as the real-life experience of three people who talk about the benefits University has provided to their careers.
