Come on, degrees are a segregation tool? Certainly not in Canada. Perhaps you could argue that to an extent in the USA, but really university degrees are a tool to teach you the skills and knowledge you need for the career that you choose. There's not some conspiracy among the upper class to prevent people with less money from getting a good education. It's just the way it works. In the US, education is funded a lot less than some other places, so private school there is very expensive, *but*, you get the best education available anywhere at the prestigious Ivy League schools in the US. Not only that but even if you have to take on a ton of debt to go to those schools, it's still well worth it.
I'm still about $20,000 in debt from my university education however my salary has almost tripled what I was making before I went to school. My single year of post graduate education has raised my salary by $20,000 alone. It's not a conspiracy. I paid for my education myself, I'm not from a wealthy family.
