I am in electrical engineering... so yeah the advice doesn't really apply. I know what you mean though, learning a trade is a good way to go, there are way too many people enrolled in university just for the sake of going to university. The world doesn't need as many business, and arts grads as we are currently pumping out. No offence to the truly brilliant business grads, but there are too many schools just giving out mediocre educations to anyone with money. I can see the value of an education going down every year as it become commoditized.
