The pursuit of education is, in nearly all cases, a good thing. The person pursuing it ends up making money and society benefits from having a more capable individual contributing to society. (They also tend to become less conservative.) Insulting the pursuit of education is childish.

Hmmm, 30-35% more than someone without a high school education.....B.C. min wage is $17.40. Wow, so an extra $5 more per hour? lmfao very impressive. When I was in University, my co-op was paying $35/hr. Just LOL if you are not wagemaxxing.
Honestly they would be better off being in the trades rather than going to University for the sake of being in University with a questionable career path. Especially if you are in a program that doesn't offer co-op. If they were in the trades, they would make far more money. I will always advocate for trades over the albatross of a BA degree.

Maybe if you paid a little more attention in high school, you could have been admitted to a STEM program.
Most of these BA programs tend to be pure cash grabs. It is questionable if you actually learn something of value in these programs that makes you remotely employable. They are often the easiest programs to get into and they are not remotely competitive. These degrees are so saturated and useless. Sorry pal
