If I had kids today I would direct them to a trade. The world will always need plumbers, electricians and people to fix cars. If you show up and do the job you can make a decent living and it can't be contracted out to people in the Third World.

The problem is that there is soooooooo much stigma attached to not wanting to get a degree if you have degreed parents and can afford it.

Something people are shamed for not doing, along with getting married and sprogging... The degree has gone from being something people did if they wanted to and had the aptitude for it to being just another page of The Life Script. The system may have seemed elitist before, but now it's really just the same, except instead of being about people with degrees vs people without them, it's about people with good degrees vs people with crap ones!
