While I do not want to be rude, statistically speaking, those with tertiary education still do better on average than those without. It's true that there's outliers and that underemployment is a persistent problem (especially in our over-educated society), but getting tertiary education might still be a better choice than a trade school, depending on your situation. Nothing is without risk and you should inform yourself about your job prospects beforehand though. Not every major will pay and some will only pay to a select few. One should put much thought into major choice (or whether they should go to university at all) - it's one of the more impactful choices in people's lives.
