Ignorant?
We all get older, can't wait to see you try to share your views when you age.
Speaking of your views, you do realize that to get a professional designation requires an undergraduate degree?
Anyways, I clearly stated if the equation is economic and purely economic, it's a pretty big opportunity cost to go to University. Which means you actually agreed with my "ignorant" position.
What you missed is that education may be about more than money. A book that inspires or an understanding of human behaviour or an inquisitive mind that chooses to apply it to studying diseases and how to treat?
Tell me how much better off the world could actually be if the majority had the skill to critically think about the "Fakebook" news feeds they were reading that swung an election?
In the end, each individual makes their own choice based on their interests and abilities. Some aren't meant for university and with the trades booming, some clearly aren't meant to work with their hands.
But seeking the job of the moment via either route seems like a short sighted view.
Oh, and if I do choose your resume from the pile.... tell your parents to stay home
