In Finland it's almost common knowledge that university is a poor guarantee for wealth. I think on average in a blue collar job you can earn more and have easier time finding one (doctors being probably the only exception).

It seems to me that at least law school has been a poor investment for nearly a generation, and medical school is trending that way.

Engineering (traditional engineering), is a reliable paycheck education. My friends from Georgia Tech got good jobs even with bad grades.

I just got out of a US university and I promise you, most of those kids are there to get rich. Or at the very least avoid being poor.
>The wording make it sound worse than it is.
Absolutely, and it's BS...
As if most people that go into university in the US get "rich".
The Danish "poor" in the sense that the article mentions (e.g. working/middle class people with no university education) make a much nicer living/lifestyle that lots of US university graduates, and with much less debt as well.
