For me I do not think it does really matter in todays world. I have started a small fund for both of my nephews to attend university if this is what they want to do when they are older.
It really does only matter for what you want to become for a profession. There is alot of people that are doing very good for not have university degree.
You can just learn a trade and be so good at it you do not need to attend the university. For me I do think it is a different way for people.
