Get a trade. There's a few reasons to get a degree; law, engineering, medicine etc. Maybe a few others, but even the areas I've mentioned used to have a non-degree pathways, as I know people my parents age that didn't go to university to become lawyers and engineers, it was through experience and then an exam with the Law and Engineering registered bodies. Since higher education is now a grift, we need to help young people with apprenticeship style work in areas that may have wanted graduates in the past. If you have the ability to do so, create an entry level job at the company you work at.
Turn PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS back to what they were...where everyone had to take a shop class and were taught a trade. Schools in my area offered wood working, engine repair (tear down/rebuild), how to put things together given different objects too see what people would come up...
Totally agree on the college scam. I went to a uni for mech. eng and the ONLY thing I learned was how to move the equations around it wasn't until I went to work for a guy who was a plant start-up guy from '30s (yes, I'm old) that solidified my knowledge. Even did down hole explosive design...NOW that was a blast!!!!! (some on here will have dirty minds)😂😁😁😁😎😎😎
I was lucky that I went to a tech school. Did so many hands-on subjects.
