University Degrees worth it?

Re: University Degrees worth it?

So many people around these days think its not worth it to do the expense on posh University degrees because information taught gets outdated very quickly and then hardly gets used in practical life over the years .

What do you think , is there any truth in that? students are also giving ideas that the courses should be reduced in time taught . Say for example , a two year course should actually be taught in a year or even lesser . Expense should be reduced so that individuals can go back to education every few years to remain updated .

Thoughts ?

Apart from a few degrees it doesn’t seem worth it at least in our province. My eldests best friend is working as an apprentice electrician and makes 25 dollars an hour at 19. He would have made over 200k in 4 yrs while my son studies engineering and he becomes a journeyman. Journeyman electricians make same money as engineers.
