Summary
Going to university used to be a passport to future success, but that's no longer the case. For some students, it's still a good choice that leads to a successful career, but for many their degrees are worthless pieces of… paper. Choose the wrong program and graduation is more likely to lead to disillusionment and debt than a steady paycheque. Yet parents, guidance counsellors, and politicians still push higher education as if it's the only option for building a secure future. The authors set out to explore the many and varied educational opportunities and career paths open to Canadian high school students and those in their twenties. Young adults will gain much insight regarding the path that is best for them: whether to pursue a degree, enrol for skills training, or investigate one of the many other options that are available. For senior high and older readers. 2014.
