it's still a good choice that leads to a successful career, but for many their degrees are worthless pieces of paper. Choose the wrong program and graduation is more likely to lead to disillusionment and debt than a steady paycheque.

The authors set out to explore the many and varied educational opportunities and career paths open to Canadian high school students and those in their twenties. Young adults will gain much insight regarding the path that is best for them: whether to pursue a degree, enrol for skills training, or investigate one of the many other options that are available.
