This is probably the hardest pill to swallow because a lot of people conclude that university degrees are useless after being unable to find a job when they finish school. However, contrary to what people say, having a university degree is absolutely essential and those who say otherwise all have university degrees which they take for granted.
Every job these days requires a bachelor's degree as a minimum. Furthermore, if you do find a job that accepts a lower credential, you will never move up in the company and you will get paid less. And it doesn't even matter what your degree is in. I graduated with a diploma from a polytechnical college but any political science or fine arts major is considered more employable than me.
Your degree doesn't have to be your career. In fact, most people's careers are not related to their degree at all. I am looking at people I went to school with 10 years ago on linkedin and it is absolutely devastating because they majored in history or something like that but then they went to a coding bootcamp and became software engineers pulling in six figures. You can switch careers like that with a degree but if you went to a vocational school like me you are considered a drooling retard that can only do one task for the rest of his life, under strict supervision from multiple managers.
And if that wasn't bad enough, if you are not Chad then not having a degree is an instantaneous REJECTION from any female because they all have university level education and will never date down. It gets worse: as a non-degree holder, I can't locationmaxx because my education isn't recognized internationally, it is recognized only within my shitty province, and maybe within Canada.
Being a near 30 year old man without a degree is absolutely BRUTAL. All doors are closed for you and you can't even ascend in SEA. I did about a year of university not too long ago because I wanted to redeem myself but I dropped out because I got depressed and lost motivation. It is absolutely brutal to spend all day every day studying as an oldfag and your brain starts to deteriorate after 25 anyway so it is OVER for me.
Right now I am posting this because I cannot focus on my job. I have been extremely depressed (unable to get up out of bed, can't focus, 0 motivation) now for months because I haven't done anything with my life and it's too late now. @LastGerman the degreepill is more important than the driverlicensepill. Imagine if you needed a license to BREATHE that is literally the same as the degreepill. A degree is basically a license to exist in the modern age and if you do not have one, you are actually subhuman.
Edit: added some whitespace because ppl are complaining.
