  • Unironically? No, not at the level of university. In highschool you are basically being babysat while they teach you. You’ll be quizzed periodically and steered and told when you’re falling behind.

    In college/uni that’s just you having to have or get your shit together and self-manage all that.

    It makes a world of difference.

    In my mind there are 2 reasons why someone should go to higher education:

    • You want a career that requires a specific degree, and the pay will be worth the extra years of investment and essentially a delayed start in life.

    • You are genuinely curious about the subject and want to learn it for the sake of learning it.

    Great if you get both in the same subject but otherwise pick your price point.

    No point in going to Harvard for something you have no way or intention to monetize later down the line.
