Back in my home country you are either rich enough to pay tuition or you study hard (as in: you are rich enough so your parents can support your attempts at enter the top public universities) and then there are the shitty cheap uni that people do just to get their degrees. I would call those a borderline scam if people wouldn't getting exactly what they want: a cheap low effort bachelor degree.

I've opted out of everything. Sure getting work was harder but everyone I worked with loved my work so I always had a path ahead. Normally I can only get work if someone over there interacted with my previous work so they know I'm legit.

Still can't deny that my life would be easier if I just got the cheap McUniversity degree.
