It really all depends on the person but things have also changed in the work world. Years ago you could walk on to a job, get hired and THEN learn a trade as you worked.
My wife is a teacher. Teachers are VERY well paid in Canada and have a retirement plan that's second to none. Her parents motivated her to go to university right after high school while many of her friends took jobs, bought vehicles etc. Whenever she would go home she'd be jealous that all her friends had nicer stuff than she did and lots of fun and freedom. Now it's the other way around!
I went the other way. After my first year of college my Dad passed away and for a variety of reasons, money being one of them as I was already in debt for my first year, I opted to get into the work world. I have been employed ever since. I regret not having finishing my course of study (electronics engineering) but I have had no problem holding down jobs that pay very well. Part of it might be because I live in a small town and I have proven myself very competent at what I do. In a larger city I might not be so lucky to find good work without a degree.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
