It’s funny, I went to college and got my degree in mechanical engineering. I’m glad I went and it’s definitely made my career easier. However, as a power plant operator, in my state a degree isn’t needed, just licensing.

    Yes, I did. Did my Bachelor’s and Master’s in computer science in media. Studying is almost free in my country and having a relevant degree gives you much better job opportunities. So there’s no real reason not to do it, unless you specifically want some non-academic job. And even then, spending a few years at college is a pretty good time and a valuable experience.

      I wish studying was almost free here. Thankfully I got a good number of scholarships and worked the whole time. So luckily I’m not drowning in debt. I learned a lot but I didn’t live on campus or care about campus events. So I think I missed out on some of the experiences.
