for example i went to electrical engineering high school and half of the school was part of a Volkswagen program where they were trained in VW factory during school days when we had classes in machining/electronic "shops" and then had a job waiting for them. so in 4y, and for free, they got a graduation with a useful degree and a job lined up for them. same could be done with programming, networking and anything else. you do not need a university diploma to perform 99% of jobs in the world.
