Life is too large. It's impossible to cover it all, but I get what you're saying. At this point, your best bet is to start asking questions online until you get the information you need.

I will say that my degree was useful but mostly because a 4 yr degree was required by my job. I could have gotten a 4 yr degree in pottery + 6 months of code monkey school and I could have gotten the same job.

I have the same gripe about k-12 school. !2+ years of school and most people by far can't get a decent paying job once out of school. That's the real scam from my view.

You make a great point about K-12 school. That’s a lot of time invested, but what job skills do almost all high school graduates have? It’s not nearly good enough return on investment.
