got two mates who went into investment banking out of uni. they both did non-specific humanity degree's. Both are doing well. one has a family.
Met plenty of guys at flight school straight out of school at 18. Most are now on a medium jet FO salary at 20. Not a bad effort.
Got other friends who sacked off uni and went travelling, worked on yachts and in bars and generally saw the world. they are now pushing 30, have no career, no house, little money and no qualifications.
guess its a question of priorities.
I wouldnt say a degree is uselss. It may not be for everyone but it certainly isnt a cone on head kebab down trousers certificate. Its almost a pre-requisite for most sought after lines of work.
