Not to mention they've been jacking up prices like crazy.
I would encourage more young people to go and learn a trade, because there's a massive shortage and so it pays much better. Not to mention, you won't be saddled with insane amounts of debt.

You can't go wrong learning a trade. University is a huge scam. It's still free here, but the brainwashing is also very bad.
Yeah, not to mention that many trades are unlikely to be automated away with AI. Learning a trade is probably one of the best ways to get ahead financially right now. Getting a university degree really doesn't do anything for you anymore. It's a waste of time and resources, unless you're going to study medicine or engineering.
