Degree apprenticeship vs university: what it actually costs

Most calculators flatter one path because whoever built them sells that path. Ask Ewan is paid by families, not employers — we model early earnings, debt and a crude net worth at 30 so you can argue with the numbers, not the brochure copy.

Illustrative model only. We do not model tax precisely, rent, or stock compensation. Apprenticeship salaries taken from curated public scheme cards — confirm on Find an Apprenticeship before you decide.
