Eh, there are plenty of routes into well paying jobs without uni. For programmers/IT-personnel, it can be better to spend 3-4 years gaining experience rather than studying at uni (hint: they get paid well).

That said, the majority of non-uni-goers are dipshits.

My youngest son hated school, played truant royally and taught himself everything he knows. He is one of the top computer programmers in his field, works for a leading company, never got a GCSE in his life, lectures in coding all over the world, has his own consultancy and has a villa in Spain.
He came from a family of 7 and was brought up in a council house.

If someone wants to be an apprentice and end up happy living in a former council house, who am I to judge?

I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot barge pool (other than prodding them off).

It's threads like this that make me wonder why I even log on here! What ridiculous and pretentious statements people make just for a bit of attention.

Success is measured in different ways. I've been with my other half 10 years and he never did any formal education after high school and yet here I am studying for my MSc as well as working in the Civil Service and yet he is still more successful than me. Funny how you think such people are beneath you.

If you truly believe that 'uneducated' people are not worthy, good luck finding someone with your judgemental outlooks on people.

Pretty decent... could do with being less obvious but still got a bit of a reaction.

6/10.

Fyi, going to uni isn't everything. I've actually enjoyed going on dates with people who don't go to uni just as much as with those who did go to uni.
