Attended 5 different universities and did 5 different programs, couldn't complete any of them, then went to trade school, aced all subjects and became skilled tradesman.
Here's my university experience:
>Half of the students are only there to get laid and party
>90% of professors are anti-social narcissistic weirdos
>30-50% of your courses have nothing to do with the degree you're getting
>Consumes literally all of your free time with endless quizzes, exams, and homework
>Costs an arm and a leg
>Impossible to concentrate because of 50-100 people per class
>Large amounts of retarded foids that ruin the dynamic by distracting you walking around half naked
>Professors that literally cannot speak english
>Damn near every assignment is a group project and you always have at least one total retard in your group
>$800 textbooks written by your professors to siphon shekels from your wallet
>Must conform to the judeo-liberal hive mind
>Literal communist and homosexual brainwashing everywhere
>Nobody there is genuine, endless dick measuring contest just like in high school
>A good 10-20% of students and professors are batshit crazy sexual perverts who should probably be in prison but the school gaslights you about them
>Go through your entire degree and not learn anything because its all filler
>Spend 4 years not making any money
>Lands you a glorified adult daycare job, albeit with good pay (I will concede here)
Then I went to trade school as a last resort, expecting it to be just as bad as university but BOY was I wrong:
>All classes are 100% practical and related to your profession
>Immediately get employed in industry straight out of school
>Max 1-2 years of study
>Tuition is affordable
>Textbooks are provided
>Instructors are friendly and down to earth
>Fellow students are all mature good natured individuals
>Workload is totally manageable
>Fun learning actual skills
>Almost impossible to fail
>Overwhelmingly male
>Classes max out at 12 people
>Only downside is that the jobs you get don't pay as well as certain university degrees
First one was laws. It was tedious and boring. The students were boring and were basically competing for who was the most system-compliant drone.
Second one was architecture. Turns out, it was basically an adult daycare where we were supposed to build some pointless gadget for whatever artistic purpose. It was completely infantile and humiliating. My contribution was a joke - I literally didn't take the main class seriously.
Third one was informatics. Now you'd think this one is it, but actually there were various classes that were quite difficult. *And completely USELESS*. These were essentially theory which had no practical application whatsoever, and math (Calculus) which you'd never use in practice. At that point I was already able to code, so I recognized that it was all a barrier-of-entry type of thing, where the main goal was to get the certificate at the end.
I quit all 3. Then at some point I started to work as a programmer. My wage increased by 100% in the span of ~6 years, which I assume is rare. I worked on quite sophisticated projects, but the company boss was a micro-managing retard, and *most* people were used to have their projects scrapped. I finished 1 large project (with multiple people in the team, me working on the core part who knew everything (they still went to the UI fucktards for questions, because the testers were idiots)), one moderate (there was no reason not to just integrate it), and both got canned. The working atmosphere was that you were there to get paid and do what you're told. I did more - and it was pointless and not appreciated the slightest. I also had some personal side-projects going just in case the leadership would decide to do the smart thing (which they didn't of course).
Anyway, I got my advantage out of it, and whatever I missed from university I picked up in drive-by as I worked there. I got the proof that I was right, that it was a waste of time.

That's literally all there is to it. It's like a proxy for an IQ test. However higher education produces a lot of idiots nowadays, so you can't rely on that any more (for ~2 decades at least).
