The world is running around with over qualified people. The sad thing is that a degree doesn't get you a job, it gets you to the door with all the other aspiring applicants that have a degree. It is then that lifes skills (mostly imparted by astute parents) come to the fore when trying to sell yourself at the job interview.
Don't do a degree for a degree sake. Do it to hopefully learn something or develop skills that you don't have that will help you in your own business or the corporate world.
University (as in Australia) is a wonderful (but expensive experience) and is not to be missed if just from the social interaction. Sadly a lot miss their focus and get all hung-up on drugs, booze, sex or all three together and don't get their degree and just piss all this money out the door. I'm sure the rest of the world has got as crazy as Oz where every one now is getting masters degrees to keep one step of the opposition or to jump the long job queues.
If your child really doesn't want to go to university, then don't push. There is plenty of time in the years ahead.
Just paint the picture as it really is.
Lyn from Oz
