    Trades is the best bet. I left Uni, and went into a trade. At 23 I had a house, wife, car, and baby on the way—Trades can be surprising lucrative, and can lead into other avenues via the variety of skills learned.

    For example, now I train engineers how to use their software or how to solve the technical problem they face via the sequrnce of tools in the engineering program.

    In some cases I’m earning more than the engineers. Their paper might open other oversea jobs though.

        You asked: What are the rest of us supposed to do LOL. If you don’t like local policy, and in a country thwt isnt going to change, move to a country that has free Uni. There are many like Germany where as long as you show you are integrating you can get school paid.

          Exactly “the rest of us” can’t all go into the trades! And you’re right the answer is to leave the country because it’s going to shit, that’s kinda my point – if we don’t change policy then the answer is just for people to give up on this country.

            If you mean the USA, it appears to be by design. The ruling class wants productive workers, not a society with a healthy system
