There are other good reasons for uni, like social and networking opportunities (doing a startup with like-minded students, maybe exploring the uni party life, learning how research is done...).
None of the reasons are worth going into debt for though. You do indeed already have the skills needed to get a good job in the field. Uni is an option for you but definitely not a requirement.
Feel free to go for a study field which is tangential to your interests (e.g. UX design, business...). Maybe you won't be doing any of that for a living but it's one of the best opportunities you get to learn how people you will end up working with talk and think. You can certainly learn the stuff you major in on your own.
- reactordev 3y agoGoing to Uni for networking and social reasons (as long as you aren’t going into debt) is a great reason to go. I was simply suggesting that one already has the skills to go work and make a pretty handsome salary doing what they are doing while learning what they want to learn. It’s a whole lot easier to fund a woodworking shop when you have money. It’s a whole lot easier to experiment with 3D printing when you have money. You see what I’m getting at. It’s not the ends, it’s the means.
