Many people are at studying undergraduate degrees because of the "social aspects". Serious, I've heard many say this. When you think about it, they're literally spending ~20 grand to interact with people on a regular basis & remain in a structured school-like environment.

They leave highschool unprepared for & afraid of independence. For many uni is just a buffer to help people delay the discomfort of adulthood, forming ones own identity, and socialising. Lesson: schools (/parents?) fail again at preparing people for this fundamental life stage.

I don’t know how it is in Australia but in the United States every teacher and every counselor and every responsible adult will tell every child that they have no choice but to attend university if they want any kind of success.

I usually recommend that young folks start a non-profit, or at least go volunteer with one, instead of college. At least before going to college. It's free, and gives you tons of experience and connections.
