@dev_ric things changed massively in the decade after I left school. No-one I knew had been to uni and all jobs came with training, usually apprenticeship or day-release, even structural engineering (a friend went down that route & qualified). Companies used to just pay to train their staff over multiple years. The self-funded uni for all approach is extremely capitalist not educational (the giveaway is that it started in the US). I learned very little new from my degree later
