Probably. I'd never suggest to anyone that they don't get more education, but I'd say think very carefully about what kind of degree they take. Degrees with a definite career path are great (primary ed, nursing, medicine, pharmacy, engineering, etc), but if it's a "school subject" I'd wonder what they intended to do after, if not teaching.

As always with these threads however, I *strongly* recommend that school-leavers don't go straight into higher education unless they have a specific career planned. Or are well off. Simply because you're unlikely to get funding more than once and its easy to "waste it", then hit 30, realise there's a career you want to pursue, but you have no funding available. Not a problem if you have a rich family and can just pay for it upfront, but for most people it's worth considering. |
