Nina is totally right here.
I've got my tech certificate (s) and the best I've been able to do is $37k/yr... my wife has a university degree and has been able to get jobs earning up to $50k/yr that have absolutley nothing to do with her education.
Some employers prefer hiring people who have finished a university degree. It shows perseverance and an ability to communicate. Best of all, those employers are willing to pay extra just to have people with that university education.
I guess it's important to figure out if you'd rather be doing something that you enjoy, like a trade, or if you want to earn a good living and having time left to spend with you family and friends. I have a number of friends with university degrees that love their jobs, make lots of money and get plenty of free time. One of my biggest regrets in life is choosing to get a college certificate instead of a university degree.
