I have to say the following because mainstream media is influence by corporations to avoid the topic. No corporation can replace higher learning at a true university. Google University can replace a trade because Google is a utility. But Google itself can be replaced. A University degree is meant to be the acknowledgement of attaining intangible brain development that was amassed from the gathering of minds from all relevant industries of a civilization. This is how we are supposed to be prepared. Corporations are mere blips in the curriculum designed by a true university.
Again, I would just suggest replacing university with learning a trade. If this seems to devalue you're message, just add in that it's very likely that more people earn more money by learning a trade. The average university earnings are skewed because the most wealthy go to universities and certainly never think of going to trade school.
Dear @machnbirdsparo
I totally agree with you, that's what happens in many cases.
However, I focus my post on those people who complain when they get old and who never achieved anything, in that sense there are no excuses to learn a trade that can generate profits because of what you know and why you learned in an online course.
Sincerely thank you for your opinion, it is very valid and I as a university professor give you every reason.
Really good point. Let the eyes of elders be reborn, if just a bit.
