It took me, personally, a long time, decades, after earning many degrees, to learn the value of applied skills, and of those people who never went to college or university.
My eldest daughter studied under Dr Martin Seligman, The Father of positive psychology (sort of the equivalent of Sigmund Freud, considered The Father of negative psychology). Many years in university. The other daughter decided to work in welding, now works on airplane parts and she delights making wrought iron art. She never wanted to go to university. Yet it would be hard to say which daughter was more successful. Each kid followed her heart.
Would it have really been worth a very large student loan for the difference?
