are degree apprenticeships more efficient and valuable than just a degree in the long run?

I would personally say an apprenticeship is more efficient and valuable because of the work experience and practical application it offers, which have really helped me with my degree. I am much more practically driven than theory-focused, so being able to put what I learn into practice has helped me understand my degree a lot [link removed] also think working in a corporate environment has helped me massively and given me amazing opportunities through my apprenticeship, such as travelling and being debt-free, that I may not have had if I had gone purely to university.
