Re: which college to choose

My best advice is to move and experience a different part of the country. There is a lot to see and do, and if you end up hating it you can always move somewhere else or back home.

Regarding education...the formal 4-year university education system in this country is royally fucked right now. It is way too expensive and you'll rack up more debt that it's worth. I'd suggest sticking with a trade-type school, which it sounds like you're already on that path with UTI so stick with it.

Unemployment rates for those with 4 year degrees is almost double that of someone with a 2 year tech school degree. Meanwhile your average 4 year degree will have 3x the tution of those going to a tech school. Median pay between the two is surprisingly simular too.

those statistics are flawed for many reasons. A solid two are the fact that some people go for the academic enlightenment(aka the purpose of higher ed), and some majors are just stupid. You won't find "useless" majors at a tech school. The purpose of a tech is to make producers in a population, not invigorate intellectual innovation.

Comparing salaries is apples to basketballs. Positions are a good difference to discuss when describing starting pay. I'd rather have a cushy office chair job for 20 years than destroy my body and sanity wrenching.

I study cognitive neuroscience. I also happen to hold certs in the pharma/food stainless process piping field. Without a day in a trade school. Honestly, if anyone out of highschool wants a rec to a stainless company that can make your 92k starting working across the country, I'd be happy to give referrals.
