I don’t know why it has to be one of the other, university generally isn’t vocational training. I know lots of people who went to university and then did a trades program, I don’t think any of them really regret getting their degree. Of course this was Canada and nobody had racked up 60-80k in debt.

In the US, that would be called a college, not a university. A university is research+teaching institution.

Maybe I was unclear, they did bachelors degrees at universities and then later went to trade school.
