    the health of your people is absolutely a worthwhile investment by all definitions. It’s the right thing to do/ethical, it makes them happy/support their government if you’re thinking politically, and a healthy populace does more for society/the country/economy/whatever you care about.

    What’s with the bait nonsense say what you want to say.

      There is an obsessed with going to university - yes education is excellent but to end up in so much debt at such a young age is awful.

      Especially the stoopid requirement for so many “entry” level corporate roles that demand a degree, despite the role never using any skills from that degree. Recruitment seems to think having a degree automatically means a person with a degree will be the best hire.

      And trades - they are overshadowed because having a degree seems to be a better route career wise.

        I am not obsessed with going to university. I think everybody should have access to university. That does not mean everybody should go.

        We have somewhat started to fund trade schools and community colleges and such here in the US so the assumption would be that if we had a universal education of some kind it would include community colleges and trade school and conservatories.

          Agreed that there must be greater access to education. Its just sucks for the less well off to be saddled with so much debt to do so.
