Most graduates have no regrets about choosing to go to university rather than taking a job straight away, according to a new study. The Guardian's Grad Facts 2008 survey polled graduates from the Russell group of universities - which includes Oxbridge, Imperial College London and Manchester - as well as graduates from newer, post-1992 universities. It discovered that 91 per cent of Russell group graduates were happy with their decision to enter into further education, as were 82 per cent of post-92 university graduates. However, 22 per cent of respondents from the post-92 university group said they regretted their choice of degree programme, compared to 20 per cent of the Russell group. Dr Wendy Piatt, the director general of the Russell group, said the results echoed last year's findings. "The National Student Survey in 2007 showed that the Russell group has higher levels of student satisfaction overall compared to the sector as a whole." The Grad Facts survey examines the views, attitudes and career hopes of recent graduates. Pareto - Graduate Sales Jobs with the UK's largest companies earning up to £35k OTE
