Vocational Training should count here but i don’t think it is. which is a shame, because it’s also the process of producing competent agent specialists which is why this matters in the first place.

Honestly, society seems to be a little obsessed with university degrees. To do many jobs, you don’t realistically need a university degree and would be fine with a specialised high school. Sometimes it also needlessly increases the general expectations from employers in the job market. I know of many people who went to university after having a specialised education from high school who said that they are now studying basically the same things. Plenty of people also barely use their degree in their jobs now. Not everyone needs to be a lawyer, for example.

I don’t think having a high degree of people having a university or college degree is necessarily a great thing since people in many professions don’t really need them, which means a lot of resources have been used for that when they didn’t need to be.

The demand for services and the prices for them have gone quite up in the past years with the supply not matching it.
