This thread is pertinent for me because I'm presently seriously considering going to University, something I've never done. I only have a secondary (high school) diploma and now at 30, I realize, after more than 10 years of vain struggle to find a good job that I like, that without proper education, this vicious circle of bad jobs that I hate will continue until the end of my life and that I must do something NOW, before it's too late.
I also realize that the kind of work I'm suited for (after all these years, I now know myself better) is always in university grade. I tried some "1 year professional course" that promise you a good job after it, but all these programs are 95% of the time about MANUAL work, but I hate that: factories, welding, mechanic, trucks, construction workers, all these manual jobs that are well known as "man" jobs, I all hate them. I'm more an intellectual person who like human spirit and psychology, understanding how society work, arts, languages, helping others, etc.
So to work in fields like that, I need University so I will finally do it, after all these years of hesitation. The fact that I always hated school and also that I didn't wanted to have huge debts after school made me hesitate; but now I will forget these fears and go for it; I'm too tired of my present struggle, University can't be worse.
