I think if I had to study further these days it would be a skill like electrical or plumbing rather than a degree. Thankfully I never went to University as it was either my brother or myself and not both of us due to not having the funds. I at least had the personality and life skill to get by unlike my brother. The not going to study further is not a regret and I think I have done ok for myself.

absolutely... me too. I regret not going this route but we were basically told we HAD TO go to a 4-year university or we were going to get no job offers. We believed them because we were kids. Hopefully the youngins are wisening up these days but based on what I see online I seriously doubt it.
We had it slightly worse as we had compulsory military service so if you did a degree on top of this you were looking at 6-7 years. I think if we had no call up I possibly would have studied further. Can you imagine doing 7 years and still have 10 years of camps afterwards which are between 30-60 days every year. You would be in your mid thirties before you had a normal life.
