If you're wondering whether you should go to university or decided against it, don't get too concerned about the hype. There are a huge number of people who have not got a degree and have done incredibly well for themselves.
In fact, people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg dropped out of college to become some of the richest people in the world.
It's true - the world of work is incredibly prejudiced against people who have not gone to university. Most high paying jobs have a minimum requirement of a 2:1 - because... you know... a degree in Classics is super valuable when it comes to stock trading.
I've known some people who have broken through the glass ceiling and some of the best people I have worked with in banking who made it all the way to the top left school at 16.
However they are not the norm. BUT there are some jobs today where having a degree really does not improve your earning potential.
In this video I go through the 7 jobs where you can actually earn MORE by not going to university than you would if you did. Why? Because an extra 3 or 4 years of experience in that job will always be worth more than the piece of paper you get at the end of your degree.

It is very strange to see this setting on this channel. How much has changed!
What about Ui/UX design jobs? Do I need a degree in this field?
Hello i am currently 17 and unsure of what career to go for. i am really struggling with a levels. i was considering going into the career of either automotive engineering or electrician, what would u recommend
I entirely disagree with the intro when you said most people tell you to get a degree to better yourself.
I am an 18 year old waiting for my alevel results and going to university this September (hopefully). I have been told by so many people that university is really expensive and not worth it for most people. Except from head of sixth form, everyone I know (including teachers) has advised me to only go to university if i know what I want to do and if it will really badly help me. We get told that university puts you in debt. It feels like we get fear mongered into not going to university. We also get told that if you don’t go to university you will be earning whilst people who go to university are in debt.
Btw I love your channel.
As I don’t have a job yet, do I have to wait until my student finance before I am able to get a credit card to start my credit rating. I can’t find a credit card which doesn’t require an income.
Thanks for your awesome content.
Are you saying that project managers are uneducated?
Great vid thank you
I like the light behind the painting. It’s a nice touch.
totally true for developer jobs. on the design side – where tech meets design (UI/UX) in particular can be extremely lucrative – 500+ a day is not uncommon for contractors
Western University's are in MAJOR trouble so people may not have the choice. In the UK & most Western university's the VAST majority of funding comes from overpriced fees paid by foreign students MOSTLY from China. Not a single Chinese student will be studying at any Western university following the CCP virus & resulting devastation of the world economy meaning only one thing, we are about to see huge numbers of university's in the Western world become insolvent & closed down
I have a feeling I am missing a job or two (or a thousand). Leave a comment!
