Consider a university degree to be the price of entry for any non-trade job, with a few notable exceptions.
You don't need a university degree to be successful if you have a special talent, or if you intend to run your own company. However, very few people qualify for this exception or even know how to run a successful business.
Trade jobs in many cases can be more lucrative for the vast majority of people who thought they'd do better with a university degree but ended up as a barista at Starbucks.
A university degree is necessary but not sufficient to become successful in the corporate world (exception being in jobs involving sales or commissions-based positions).
Most people I know who didn't go to university/trade school are losers and flaky as heck. University does teach you some universal skills on responsibilities, deadlines, etc.
