Well, I'm hoping that even if I went to uni that I would have still become a lifelong learner because I'm naturally curious and a bit cynical. Believing that I would have come to the same conclusion in life, having a uni degree in my back pocket would have made me feel a lot better about myself all through my 20s and some of my 30s. Like when applying for jobs in a specific field instead of taking service jobs, growing my professional abilities in said field, having a regular paycheck.
Thanks for the recommendation!
