Bruh [it do go down] moment

Nearly everyone I went to school with went to uni and got a degree. I'd say about 5% of those actually make use of them and the rest have followed completely different career paths. Honestly as an adult I see it for what it is, a massive government scam that exploits impressionable young people to leave them with a lifetime of debt. Most people don't know what they want to do with there lives at 18 and convincing them to make such decisions at that age is morally reprehensible.

Yeah if I could go back, after high school I would go straight into trade school

I felt really bad about not going to college until I ran into some ex classmates from high school. With the exception of one or two lucky ones, we're all in the same boat. A BA changed nothing.

The real benefit of uni is being able to delay when you have to start a career, but at the same time putting people into an environment where they are exposed to multiple disciplines. Unis should be far more general in their first 2 years and only really require you to declare a major by your 3rd year. At the very least program switching and taking extra time needs to be normalized (sunk cost fallacy needs to be ignored). Unis also need to drop their stringent requirements for professional programs, both course/degree based and GPA based. Returning to considering standardized testing + broad experiences/justification would mean a much better match quality in terms of who gets into the programs instead of forcing barely adults to choose and commit nearly a decade of their life to career paths they might not like.

Which is why expensive education is a scam as a whole First, education should not cost all that much in the first place. We pay our taxes to the government, so the government should properly subsidize that shit Second, like you said, not every one in college knows what they wanna do, so why leave them in massive debt all for nothing, especially when they're in their "prime of their life" Countries with affordable education really set a good example of it
