Going to University means you have a chance at a good paying job. Depending on the job, likely a better chance then someone who didnt go. I make decent money and did not go, however I am incredibly lucky and am not betting on that for any children i have. Trades or University/College is a must.
That being said, how about the Government reduces the cost of post-secondary education, instead of allowing banks to earn off billions of school loans each year. Here, they do reduce it for citizens, however not nearly enough. Additionally, many graduates end up moving to other countries because the pay is lower here.
I quit a few years ago. Super liberating, but after 2 years of practically nobody jumping on Signal with me, and being left out of friend group chats, I settled on “Facebook lite” for my phone. I dont post, or scroll the feed. Just available for chats.
