except for trade schools and a large amount of degrees that literally train and teach you the types of skills you will do for a particular job. :derp:

post secondary education is college. which includes community college/trade school/university. you'll notice there aren't really any schools out there called trade schools, just community "colleges" that teach trades. :shrug:

Yes, this is a good point. You should be networking in college. Talking to your professors 1 on 1 in your major is a good way to start. You can also get them to reference for you which is a major plus.

Depends what you wanna do. It does open a lot of doors and sometimes I regret not having pursued a higher education because lack of one has denied me opportunities like joining the peace corp, and teaching English abroad most places. Honestly though, the academic life was never for me, so all in all, I don't regret my decisions.

Even if I did do all that work I wouldn't even be able to live on my own..

sitting at home I get to take as many classes as I want, could I work 20 hours a week yeah I definitely would if I wasn't force to work up until 4am lol

I mean if you work fulltime every week, I'm pretty skeptical that you'd take more then two real classes

Fuck no it's not.  I quit that in a heartbeat after realizing how worthless it all is.  Am in technical school for welding now.  Going to kick ass and take names once i'm certified.

Universities are crawling with students, it seems like every kid feels like they have to go otherwise they won't be part of the group.

While everybody is getting an education, manual labor such as plumbers, electricians and bricklayers are starving for people. These people now make more money than people with degrees. If your an entrepreneur in that field you are pretty garanteed to make 100k+ per year. Everybody wants to sit in an office, therefore it has become a minimum salary job.

The best way to go of course is starting a business, you can't go wrong with that. Governments around the world give tax breaks, incentives and lollipops to entrepreneurs.

Like everybody said, degrees are only good in the high demand fields such as computer stuff and engeneering.

Not worth it at all. The fact that education costs keep skyrocketing even though its one of the most
important things in society makes me reject the whole thing. They are clearly sucking as much money
as possible out of people and it has become disgusting.
