So many people whose entire identity for the past 5 years was swearing at the Prime Minister would face an existential crisis.
I hope at least now they're able to find light in life.

Should we continue to encourage kids to go to college ? Or push them to take up a trade ?
I believe in college. Learning how to learn, IMO, is a critical life skill. Being exposed to people of different backgrounds, makes yiu wiser
Qualifier- it should be a school you can afford.
