i went to a 4 year university, i would highly recommend for students to not rush and try to graduate as soon as you can. Instead go for internships, co-ops, volunteer to gain experience in their field of study. i was so set on graduating in 4 years, that instead of taking internships over the summers, i would take summer classes, then i graduated and applied for "entry level jobs" and i had no experience in the field. All employers were like ok, you need 1-2 years experience along with your degree...

@akui88 it's easier while you're in school but I wonder if there's internship opportunities for graduates that might've missed out on them. A lot of people hate it but if there were any point a diversity hire position would be useful, I'd imagine it's that. Folks that had to finish college ASAP to avoid incurring excessive debt and come from underprivileged backgrounds. Obviously aptitude should be looked at as well but there's a lot of internships and experience poor students have to miss out on due to external factors that companies might be overlooking.

I've noticed a common thread with the people telling kids to forget college and go into the trades: They are virtually all college boys themselves who wouldn't be caught dead doing manual labor. If we get massive new waves of people into the trades, guess what's going to happen? Wages will go down, down, down. It will be the new fast food job. In a lot of areas, the trades already make dirt wages with zero job security and few if any benefits. If you're in a good union state, it can be good money, but it can take many years to get to that point, and a physical job that seems great at age 22 becomes a whole lot less fun at 52. Most guys I've ever known in the trades were functionally crippled by the time they were 60. Shot hips, knees, shoulders. You'd think they were 87 if you saw them trying to get around.

Getting a degree, does not guarantee a job or career. Since 2021, 20% of all college graduates never get a job in their field and eventually have to go into the workforce or go back to school for a different career path. Skills is experience. Better to get a career going at 18 than waiting out your 20's hoping you made the right choice, deciding to go back to school because of unforeseen difficulties; while the trade schooler buys a house, is years set on a career and capping off debt left, right and center. A piece of paper on the wall never defines you. Its what you do with yourself.

With the high cost of tuition at a 4 year university, she thought going to a community college and working part time is more realistic. She will graduate with a specific skill and if she decides to change her career, she can take college courses online and pay for it herself while working as a welder (her current goal).

The only way to "forego college" is to study industry and scientific methodology independently, which is impossible if you don't have secure foundations, and access to formally-educated communities. The "particle physics is your opinion" crowd can't solve basic problems without tutorials and continuous consultation.

sure, but 99% of people going to college ARENT studying particle physics.

Melbourne (Australia) psychologist Victoria Heywood-Smith is actually autistic… (she will be using this as her excuse in advising the incorrect advice . This is why it is the only well paid job she can do. She just has to sit there and be quiet & nobody picks up on it. Shouldn’t a psychologist have the perfect relationship with their partner also? Who are they to give anyone advice…

If someone is qualified, I recommend at least 4 years of active duty in the military. Learn a trade, get paid, take free college courses on the side, then get honorably discharged and use the Post 9/11 GI Bill for university now that you're a little bit older and have some things figured out.

The core principle is just got obtain a SKILL If your are not going to major in STEM then college should not be your #1 option TRUST Even then, all that debt is not worth it. Stack your bread and go obtain a SKILL by self learning or make a lower investment by picking up a certification(s) or trade(s)

As a FRESH GRADUATE with my BA, if you’re a High Schooler. Please don’t go to traditional college go to a trade school, traditional universities are a scam now a days, no one is hiring, or require 30+ years of experience (sarcastically) but like 5+ yrs of experience.
