Was it worth it? Or did you waste your time?

Definitely worth it. I liked learning new things all the time. That doesn't come so easily when you have a job. Companies want to pay you to do what you already know how to do, not necessarily to learn something new.

I'm glad I did it, but I can't say what I learned has helped a lot. Having that piece of paper was important, though.

Hi,GDAY
I am agree with you ,many times this happens that our degree or "piece of pper does not helps us lot .the only thing which help is that our practical and experience not in the classroom but from the real environment.

While I agree getting a degree is important, it is not entirely impossible to start working in the mining industry and save enough to retire while other people will be working on getting a degree.

Article in the paper here in Perth today - that the uni/TAFE are missing out on students because they can get such well paid jobs elsewhere.
I don't know that I would go to uni these days unless Iwas sure of what I wanted to achieve from it and that the job I got was going to be worth the expense

I was lucky I went in the days before big fees - I came out broke but not in debt - and had a ball! I would think 3x these days unless I was sure that I was going to get a wellpaying job I liked to pay off the debt
