95% of the things you learn in school is useless theoretical crap and barely any practical ones, and I am in engineering saying this. But going to uni shows that you are capable to go to the same place, doing the same thing, 4 years in a row consistently, can work with basic math and can handle significant stress once in a while. This is the bare minimum employers look for in an office worker. Most people will work jobs significantly different from their degree anyway and it proves again how useless univs are. But due to how the system work, it is extremely difficult to find cushy job without a degree and even you find one, you won't climb up the ladder anyway.
I disagree with the idea of skipping higher education and go straight for real world job. It depends a lot on what you want to do, to be a doctor or engineer you need proper education but if you plan to work construction or hospitality then further education become secondary task to boost your profile. I like that you discussed the social aspect of college, the higher education plays a significant role in developing social skill and good personal character. It is also true that you often don't get teachers that can inspire you as lecturer need to focus a lot on research than teaching cause that is how they can secure their job in university.
True, I go to a community college in my hometown this is my 2nd to last semester and because it is a smaller school, and because it’s so good (I guess it’s top 3 in California) many of my professors have been impactful and had experience in what they were teaching. I’m a finance major and every business class has been taught by a former business owner, and accounting classes by CPAs or corporate controllers….i know not everyone’s experience is like this so I’m grateful to say the least. I actually began my college experience dreading it because all my friends left to 4 years but it was one of the best decisions that could have happened. It was tough at first but now I’m able to look back thankful
In my country we go University at usually 18, but i stayed in my hometown for 2 years, and one year from corona and other half year from earthquake all my friends who went to uni also was in our city because government made online classes, i finally went uni at 20 and i think this is so far the best decision i made

@@ace_ln6991 Yes anything healthcare or law requires formal education. Thank you for your insight

@@kozak1938 I’m happy for you! 🎉
College is the new mortgage people are paying except this one you can't get rid through bankruptcy.
Im in my first year of university and im nervous...
Don't be, it's where you explore and learn not just education but a lot of life lessons.
You're just saying nonsense, university is useful if you know what you are doing and why, if not then that's your problem.
