What you do in your life can change numerous times. And it probably will. In this sense the university education is rather flawed.

The problem is that at 20-something you have already been studying for countless years. And school is not a realistic model for real life, it does not prepare you well for it.

I have many friends that completed their education and started doing completely different. You can't look at the four years they spent as anything else, but time lost.

What I advice anyone is work at least one-two years before going to university. There are a lot of things to learn from that.
