Don't waste your time and find alternative opportunities. Find a trade you like, find someone in it who's not mindless, and apprentice (or whatever) with them. University is theoretically a place for learning shit, college is more practical for learning skills, but on the job experience is the best school.

Don't expect schools or rational thinking to return to old-normal ever.

That crossed my mind many times. i was going to go to a garage and work for free for experience. (i'm good at that kind of things) there's this jewish mechanic near my house i think i can learn more than just car repairy from him. That or apprenticing at machining shops. the way economic climate in this country looks like right now, it makes no sense to work a job. Just that everything is so unpredictable - i don't want it to happen that i start apprenticing and the colleges open up and now i need to go back there.

Don't work for free. Even as apprentice. Building, making, repairing are all excellent. So is growing/farming. Business, management, planning, self-reliance, etc are are also great, though it's hard to know what any of that will look like with this Great Reset. I wished everyone was taught business and personal economics in highschool and college. No matter the field it is critical in life - but they don't want responsible people.
