Options After High School: University

In this segment, Devon and Sarah-Jane focus on the topic of post-secondary education, focusing primarily on university. Devon shares a personal story about attending an information session for their daughter transitioning from elementary to junior high school and feeling concerned about the pressure put on students to prepare for university from a young age. The conversation delves into the perception of university as the only option after high school, despite many other viable paths available. We discuss the misconception that all jobs require a university degree and emphasize the importance of understanding one's reasons for pursuing higher education. Additionally, they highlight the value of university for those deeply interested in a subject and the transformative potential of education beyond job training.  Relevant Links:Rick Miner’s report:  http://minerandminer.ca/data/CO_PWJ_Brochure_CAN_2010_v4.pdf.
