It turns out I was right. Nowadays, they are worth even less because everyone has one. Having one doesn't mean you'll be good at your job, it only means you've fulfilled a societal requirement. Question everything, don't blindly listen to what you're told, no matter who told you. Do your own research and make an informed decision yourself.

But I do agree. Most majors and career don’t need nearly as much school as most people do. I have two friends in uni paying $40,000-$80,000 for a communications major (want to be a writer tho) and the other is art. It doesn’t make sense. Get a trade and or learn from experience. Take community college and then learn more from job experience. If you want to be a writer take CC classes for English and writing and practice by selling ebooks.

While I feel that most degrees are useless nowadays, I believe that going into computer science or some type of engineering field would be beneficial. I never thought about the financial aspect of my chosen career field. I simply picked what I enjoyed doing. So you have to weigh out what kind of life you want to live.

Kids sitting around the family table listening to their parents and grand parents telling stories of their careers, life chances, they think and are encouraged to continue along the same path, WRONG, the world the parents knew is gone, the jobs with promotion guaranteed are gone, you had better be prepared to work many jobs, in many areas for less than your parents, no job security at all, don't listen to the people who sell you yesterdays dreams, THINK long and hard about what you want, if it is job for money get one out of school, work up within for low money, you have experience, this alone is worth a lot to prospective employers, they will pay you more, you will be in demand, this is better than student debt, dashed expectations, get real for today's employment.

The REAL problem is that we aren't telling them of other opportunities out there where you can earn a good living WITHOUT a college degree.

Also difficult because employers want to invest their money into someone who has some knowledge of a trade. 3. Private trade school the easy path get to into a trade. You pay out of your own pocket or get a loan from the government. It’s normally 6 month - 1 year program. It puts you ahead of other people without any experience school or on the field.

These jobs out here literally require you to have a BA. . . to do what any competent 16 year old in high school can do. And the jobs I feel I'm actually qualified for want me to have 10+ years of experience!!! I've only been out of school 5 years! These companies stress how much they want you to have experience, but don't want to be the ones to give you a chance and train you up and allow you to gain the very experience they demand of you. And I'm realizing now that it's not just me; out of my small group of friends and former classmates (about 10 of us altogether) only ONE of us has been able to afford to move out and get our own place. The rest of us still live with our parents . Maybe 20-30 years ago we might've teased each other about it but at this point we just see it as being better than living out on the street. I'd go back in time and go to trade school if I could. All having a college degree has done for me is acquire debt and having my future goals pushed back another 5-10 years if not more.

Its the same question I asked when I started college in my early twenties. I chose to major in nursing and walked away from college debt free due to having taken my time going through school and paying for it bit by bit. All in all, it took 7 1/2 years to get my associates degree, but I've had numerous offers with starting pay as high as $35 an hour! I'm currently awaiting an interview for a residency at my local hospital, which starts you off at $32 an hour. Overall, I'd say the return on investment was very good and I'm glad I started at a community college, as it saved me tens of thousands of dollars. I'll be starting my bachelors degree in nursing next year and its only going to cost $6000.

And as far as the idea companies don’t want to invest in the training... well you are paying those 22 year olds much less than the 40-50 year olds with experience. So that new person you have to “train up” doesn’t cost you that much. And if that training is considered valuable, and you worry about young people getting the training and running to another company. It’s possible to create contracts to require them stay for say 2 years or owe back some of that training cost.

I feel for today's students and the predicament of whether they should further their education by proceeding to university, and the elusive goal of a high paying job. Let me offer my own sage experience, and perhaps some ideas towards full time employment, or at least better employment opportunities. This comes from observing the experience of my three younger sisters, my nieces and nephews, and even young people who have worked for me. 1. Don't consider a university degree the be all and end all, to a high paying job. Do consider a college or technical school or other education facility to learn a set of skills, or a trade, even more than one trade. 2. Diversity is key - become a jack of all trades! Narrow casting yourself, to become a specialist in one field, limits your employment opportunities, especially if the market drops and there is less demand for your chosen profession, or the competition is fierce for a limited number of positions. 3. Technology changes, and with it, jobs or positions disappear, however new opportunities arise. Read and learn what are the coming trends, and try to get experience in these fields. 4. Volunteer. Gain experience by working with different companies, non-profit organizations, NGO's (non-government agencies), your local seniors residence, community center, charity, etc. Interning, or "'stages" as they call them here in Quebec, are a good way to acquire new skills, network with people, but also to determine, if where you volunteer, might be a career path you wish to take. 5. Take time off. If you are graduating from high school, or if you are midway through your studies and are disillusioned, consider taking two or more years off to find work, even if its part-time, to grow your finances, to see what's out there. Yes, that might mean living with your parents, or perhaps sharing accommodations with friends, but the advantage is, when you finally decide to go to/back to college or university, you have more focus about your goals, and hopefully more cash. 6. Travel! Explore! Get out of your cocoon. Buy a one-way bus or train ticket and visit another part of Canada. Find work in other areas, whether its picking apples in the Okanagon Valley, planting trees in BC and Alberta, to working on organic farms, to whatever. The opportunities are out there, if you are open. 7. Consider joining the Canadian Armed Forces. They have excellent training in numerous fields, in bases across Canada and even in postings around the world. Alternatively, sign up and join a local Reserve unit, found in all of Canada's major cites. At 16, I joined the RMR - Royal Montreal Regiment, and served as a reservist for four years, training with Regular Force units in Ontario and Quebec. Being in the forces gave me discipline, training, ethics, openness, team-building and networking opportunities that have stayed with me for life. The pay while I was in the reserves, also helped fund my studies in college. 8. Consider working for temp employment agencies. Yes, the pay may be low, starting at the provincial minimum, but it will get your foot in the door to a company or office. Work hard and conscientiously, say hi, and talk to people, and you may find yourself with a full time job offer. That happened to me, working as a tech wiring a tv mobile truck on a three month contract. The production company liked my work and offered me a full time position that ended up paying $80k per year! 9. Stay positive! No matter how bad it gets... nothing will tear at you and eat at your soul more than, than if you are negative. 10. Keep learning, and continuously upgrade your skills set. The more diversity you bring to your CV-resume, the more likely you will be employed. Put on your CV relevant volunteering work too. It shows commitment & dedication. 11. Persevere and don't give up! About myself - I graduated in 1974 with a Diploma in Communication Arts from Dawson College in Montreal. But that was after taking a year of Electronics Technology, and a year of Computer Technology and Data Processing, then two years in Communications. To make money while in college, I delivered newspapers in Montreal to residences, getting up at 5am, cleaned toilets one summer in a Canadian forces base near Ottawa (ya - not so glamourous!), worked in a furniture factory assembling chairs at $3.50 per hour, and worked as an audio tech on the Canada Summer Games in Burnaby BC with CBC-TV, plus was a reservist in the Canadian forces as previously mentioned. Since graduating I have: worked as a tech on satellite earth stations in Bangladesh & Haiti; wired many of the radio & tv studios in CBC across Canada (sub-contract through Spar Aerospace of Montreal); owned and operated a video & stereo store for five years; worked in the audio-visual department of a horse racing track (that later went bankrupt - but not because of me!); plus many other jobs too numerous to mention. Since 2008, I have been self-employed full time in my own business. The take away from all this - finding one job you will be at for the rest of your life is highly unlikely. Realistically, you will work at many through your lifetime, as has happened for me. I wish you the best in your quest, and your future endeavours! Frederic in Montréal

The woman who worked behind the bar almost saw the truth. Life isn’t about getting a job. It’s about building economic and social wealth. For too long we’ve taught people that all they have to do to be happy is be an employee. But in reality most people in work want to spend as little time working for as much salary as possible, whilst complaining about the boss. The ultimate aim for the top students should be to work for themselves in something they like. They need to build a business, whether it be as a doctor, a lawyer, a tradesman, a hairdresser or a Hollywood actress. Thinking that you can be an employee and have an income greater than the average is a mistake. Yes you may have to work hard for a few years as someone else’s employee when you start out, but you should learn about presenting yourself not as a worker, but as a commercial proposition. You have to create a role for yourself, by showing others how you can make money for them. The woman in this video who is a teacher is obviously so hung up on what things should be like, that she can’t refocus on making things better for herself. She needs to look at ways of making money, not dream about how it would be wonderful if she was a tenured professor. Stop asking the wrong questions and you will stop getting the wrong answers.

I'm 31 and well aware of the reality young adults face concerning the modern Canadian workforce. Too many people got higher education and the market is oversaturated with people with university degrees. Still, highschool counselors are pushing kids to go the university route when in reality it's a dead end for a majority of people. Why aren't they pushing kids to go into public service or trades? Odds are higher that you'll find work and stability if you go that route. Being a cop, solider, paramedic, nurse, electrician, welder, plumber, etc might be hard and it might not pay as well as what you *might* get with a university degree, but it might not that be that big of a difference (if you put the effort in and sacrifice) and you'd still live a very comfortable life. That said, a lot of people are unwilling to move to where the work is and that is a huge part of the problem as well. To get the job you actually want, you'll most likely have to move town, city, province or hell, even an entirely different country. I've had friends who had to move from montreal to toronto, calgary, vancouver, boston and one somewhere in south africa and another bermuda to get the jobs they wanted and they did it because it really was their passion. If something is important enough to you, you'll make the sacrifices required. Lastly, if you are of higher education and unable or unwilling to do what you got to do to get the job you truly desire, just lie and do not put on your resume that you have been to university for the past X years and don't let them know about your degrees. Make up whatever backstory you need to cover your X years of inactivity and that will increase your odds of getting that menial job by like 500%. Very few employers want to hire someone smarter than them.

Right but I was implying lying on your resume was a last resort. If you've been rejected by 250 applications sometimes you've got to do what you got to do to give yourself a chance. Also this is assuming you're applying for menial jobs that don't require anything past a highschool diploma. I've a few friends who work in HR who are in charge of hiring and lying on resume's is the norm. Some employers don't care, other's do. It's a gamble but so is any resume, even if it's honest.

if you get reject from 250 applications. Then you might want to consider a different path of approach. Any of the employers would be willing to tell you where you went wrong or how you got out matched. knowing how to sell yourself is a skill of its own.

I have a bachelors degree in Math/Computing Science, a Teaching certificate, and a diploma and certificate in Traditional and Computer animation. I am now a ROOFER running my own business and doing great. Life and opportunity lead you in strange directions. Keep your eyes open!!! I don't regret any of my educational decisions. Pay off your debts, have a family, and get on with it.

I studied Computer Science in a Spanish university, which was very expensive. To be honest, I've learned MUCH more on my own (for free) than at university. When I finished university I didn't know basic things that can actually get you a job (AJAX, Git, web services, PHP frameworks and so on). However, they taught us lots of useless maths and other stuff that I've never used yet.

Math teaches you how to think logically which is essential for computer science. Also, every computer programmer uses concepts like algebra and algorithms on a daily basis. Frameworks are useless if you don't know the actual computer language and how to use it logically.
