Is university always the best option for getting a good job?

I think it honestly depends on the type of career path one wants to pursue. Ofcourse having a university degree is favourable by employers, organisations and companies, however if you have access to the internet nowadays if you really wanted to, you could teach yourself the specific skills you truly want, supposing you have a high level of motivation to keep it up meanwhile also saving spending money on university education. The disadvantage of this option however if lack of engagement with other people, but the benefits would be money saved and only focusing on what you want to learn.

It is also possible to attend and learn specific online courses and attend training courses which train you into a specific role. Jobs that carry out these type of excercises, include airline cabin crews for example.

University is certainly a good option if you want to reach the higher pay scale jobs, and reach manager positions straight from graduation. However it definitley is possible to make it in other ways. Several famous entrepreneurs such as Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates for example, all dropped out of university and are now some of the wealthiest earners on the planet...

My conclusion is that university is a good option to getting a pretty good job, but it's not the be all and end all of making it to the top. It's simply a train that can help take you to where you want to be faster, but you can get on other trains too.
