I agree with a lot of the points raised in the article. However, the author makes it sound like going to university is a foolish choice. Sure its overpriced & the crappy degrees aren't any good, but on the whole going to uni is still the correct call in most cases.
Round here its just a matter of selecting a sufficiently vicious degree. Worked for me: I had (multiple) employment offers lined up ~6 months into the 4 year course. So did the majority of my classmates.
Perhaps I'm biased since it clearly worked out for me, but still I think this whole thing about tertiary education being overrated is BS - at least for the proper degrees.
