University Versus Trade School
With the cost of post-secondary education steadily rising each year, it’s crucial for parents and students to put a lot of thought into what career path they may want to pursue before signing up for a general undergraduate degree and figuring it out later.
Figuring it out later could end up costing your son tens of thousands of dollars more, as well as lost working time.It’s also important not to blindly buy into the promise that university graduates will earn $1 million or more during their working careers than graduates from colleges or technical schools.
While it’s true that many professionals with university degrees will earn substantially more than those with college diplomas or trade certifications, the reality is that career prospects and incomes for university graduates vary depending upon their field of study.
