      Most certainly, taking an apprenticeship gives you a head-start in your career path, and allows you gain valuable skill sets and experience at a young age. Giving you the opportunity to build up you general knowledge on the career and gradually receive a higher status due to it, as well as gaining all the relevant qualifications at no extra cost

      100%! The thing you gain with an apprenticeship that uni can not teach you is experience. People who come into work straight from uni are known as grads (not surprisingly because they graduated), but you can usually pick them out or tell they are a grad by looking at there work initially. They are lacking experience and would not be able to work on the larger projects that say an apprentice would be working on after 3 years having done exactly the same qualification, got paid to do it and gained experience.

      Plus if you can juggle work and studies your already proving a skill to your potential employers!
