Is it currently worthwhile to study at university?

Is it still worthwhile to go to university or are we satisfied with the proverbial school of life, i.e. knowledge acquired in practice? Can I make it without "college"? Inspirational stories of famous personalities who left school and proved that they do not need education to succeed in life are a popular motivational element. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn't finish school. There seems little doubt about how successful the aforementioned trio have become in life. In reality, however, we should certainly not dismiss education. As the saying goes: History is written by the winners. The fact that you hear about successful people who have managed to make it without proper education stems from a certain amount of information bias. You simply learn about those who are successful. However, you don't learn much about those for whom a higher education would actually help them to get a better job. Psychologists refer to this phenomenon as the 'survivor's fallacy'. For example, statistics from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) show that unemployment rates among university graduates are generally lower than unemployment rates among people with lower levels of education. It can thus be argued that education is the most important factor for career success in industrialised countries. A university degree can open many imaginary doors for its holder and accelerate career growth. Specifically, the European Training Academy offers the opportunity to obtain degrees in BBA, MBA, MPA, LL.M., MSc., DBA, Ph.D. in the fields of SME management, executive management, general management, financial management, healthcare management, general law, human resources and people management, IT management, real estate broker and team management. Unlike many other universities that do not provide their graduates with a link to practice, the European Academy is able to provide an effective link between the professional world and the world of study thanks to the opportunity to supplement their education on the job through online study. This is either because the candidate is already working and now needs to move up a particular career hierarchy, or because he or she is still looking for a job and needs to combine work experience and study at the start of the career.
