Go into the trades. A highly skilled tradesperson is worth their weight in gold.

I have two master’s degrees—an MBA with a 93% average and an M.A. in English. Currently, I’m working as a painter in Calgary.

Honestly telling students who are already incredibly busy to just do more work for free is not the best advice

Nope degrees are not worth the debt. Just stick to a trade and don’t waste your time anywhere else.

A higher education may not guarantee employment however, critical thinking skills and knowledge are always worth the investment imo

I wasn't getting where I wanted with my bachelor's degree. So I got a Master's and practical experience. Now I make triple what I did with just a Master's. The online B.S. about degrees being "useless" is ridiculous.

Only go to Uni if you plan to do; Nursing, engineering, accounting, finance, economics, pre law, pre med/dental/pharmacy, or anything that’s high paying.

The economy is now structured against workers. Employers want experience plus extensive education but offer only starting salaries. AI hiring algorithms eliminate most candidates without resumes being read by a real human.

Yes a degree is worth it but it depends what you study. Make sure what you study for there is a demand for it.
