Anyone else feel the same? What can be done about it? What good alternatives? The internet suggests trade jobs, but how can there be time for other things?

    Thank you for the information, comrade! I’ll save this comment for the future incase I need to look back on it.

    If you do study in HE, you will hear lots about the institution and league tables. The world is unfortunately snobby, and people will judge you for the institution you study at. This somewhat depends on the field. Some are more elitist than others. So if, say, 70% of lawyers studied at Yale and Harvard (a made-up statistic!), then lawyers should study at Yale or Harvard. But correlation does not equal causation. Those who get into Yale or Harvard may also get their job because their family studied there and are in the same field. So going to Yale or Harvard may not be the reason they succeed

    I do agree with this, and what’s crazy is that they’re already becoming snobby in high school.

    The information you provided on finding jobs in the law field was interesting. I noticed that a lot of people who get degrees in certain fields have hard times getting those jobs in that same field. I’ve even heard someone tell us a story about how they were declined because despite having the degree, they “didn’t have the experience.”
