OK, so, the headline is more than a little flippant. But stick with me.
Here's a story in The Cambridge Evening News that owes a great deal to clever PR spin.
In essence, the story indicates that "... AAT students trained on the job straight from school can be as much as £70,000 ahead of their graduate counterparts by the time they have completed their degree...".
The implication, of course, is that the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) training programme will give you a significant advantage over university educated accountants.
The truth is rather more prosaic. It is absolutely obvious and of no surprise to anyone that if you go out to work after leaving school you will be earning more money that someone who stays in full-time education.
Still good on the AAT for making it clear that university isn't the only route to a decent career.
