Two 18-year-olds
One decides to go to Uni and do CS
Other pursues a Job that pays about $40k
The point is that at University you waste far too much time not working and earning money and muh muh degree pay increase is honestly not worth it.
Person B started earning earlier so had much more money saved up he could use to leverage other opportunities outside of his everyday job. As a looksmaxxer
Job > University
If you want to eventually work for yourself
Job > University
The only time I'd recommend to going to Uni is if you honestly just want to be a start-up founder or some kind of billionaire or if you live in a shithole
