This is something very true that I haven't really seen mentioned before. A serious portion of people studying at university have no idea where their degree will take them in the future, or if it's at all aligned with their desired career path. So why do they go? https://twitter.com/antonjw/status/1101630871411539968 …

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.
