Agree with this, also I think the University experience is a positive one on a personal and societal level, people can have a too bleak view of education sometimes just seeing it as purely a means to a job and an income. I do think that University shouldn't be seen as the only option available when leaving school though and people shouldn't just do a degree for the sake of it
