It isnt. unless you want to get into the in demand sectors, unfortunately that means the natural resource sector, engineering, doctor, lawyer etc. kids today get no real advice in school or at home, they take BS courses in university. im so glad I didnt go to university, and guess what at 25 I have a liquid net worth of over 100k and growing. I did waste a few grand on a bs course at humber, bc I believed like everyone else the same propaganda..your guidance councilor wont tell you not to go to school. btw, if osap didnt exist, universities would be forced to lower tuition as students wouldnt be able to afford the rates and no bank would loan them the money.
