Is university still worth it today? Are “extra skills” and certificates just another money-making trick? Has anyone here found success without a degree, or by learning something new outside of school? Is this the start of a new way of working, or just a big mess?

I'm not saying that it isn't worth it, but it isn't a necessity for us to be successful in the future. Some might look at a university as "something important", but not for me anymore despite the fact that I graduated from college as well.

I've seen graduates that are now having a hard time finding a job for various reasons. There are jobs that can't be taken by AI, and most of them are those that isn't require technology like nurses like what the above post said and something about healthcare. What I would say though is that, things aren't the same back then anymore. Right now, you can still be successful despite not having a degree and vice-versa. What I believe is that, as long as you have a skill, and you can make money by using that "skill", you can be successful in life even though you don't have a degree. We've seen people becoming successful even though they don't have a degree so it's still worth anything at least for me, but not that important anymore.

University degrees are useless because millions of people are available who have no jobs after getting degrees. They studied 16 years and after they got nothing in return. There are thousands of people who said that is best to get a degree because it will ensure your stability in life because they belong to poor family and many parents demand money from the son after they got degree but how they will pay their parents. They have to start a business but business needs money and unique idea , otherwise they will sell vegetables or fruits . My opinion is , if you have no big resources, you should go towards small business but no towards big job .Job could be end at any time but business will never end and your income will increase.
