[QUOTE="Jerry, post: 7714433, member: 178"] I have a degree in agriculture and business studies….from some years ago..( too many years id care to remember). that lead to a career, at first, in agri but not hands on. However it was a career that took me to farming in Africa, America and Indonesia. Coming from a farm in Devon that opened my eyes big time. It then lead to non farm related work. Sitting on City trading floor at a Japanese bank But heart was always in farming so 15 years ago I returned to the family farm. BIG pay cut. Even BIGGER satisfaction and quality of life. What did uni do for? (in no particular order) Opened my eyes Exposed me to other cultures and philosophies Enabled me to travel. build a group of friends outside agri Meet my wife Build a bit of capital away from agriculture I’m all for supporting my kids to go to uni. (Second one goes in a month) But they have to have an end game in their plan. It’s not three years to party and build debt [/QUOTE]
