At least in the UK I think that the idea that University is the be all and end all is well past its peak. I know people in their 30s with degrees who are in house shares in the capital earning 30K a year. They are doing substantially worse than the folks I know in cheaper areas doing stuff like construction, sales, home renovations etc and I don't think that most of them are likely to catch up any time soon. I think graduating at Oxford, Cambridge, LSE and a few others is worth it. Otherwise you're probably better off living at home for as long as possible, saving a bunch of money and striking out on your own.
