University study looked at how UK graduates felt about their work and career prospects.

It found that some degrees offer little financial return and may leave graduates worse off than if they hadn't gone to university.

But the results challenge the idea that only high-earning degrees offer value, says Andrew Hammond .

Hammond: By branding arts and humanities degrees as "rip-offs," we risk further weakening talent pipeline.
