You recently turned 17 or 18 and are wondering what to study, where and how you can finance it without ending up in a mountain of debt?

I did too (minus the debt part, I’m from a place where studying is cheap).

But instead of asking and looking for information myself, I dove into the first degree that looked easy and interesting enough and never looked back.

Today, I thoroughly regret that choice and would therefore like to offer some sort of guidance so you can avoid the mistakes I have made.

You’ll also see how you don’t need to pay tens of thousands of dollars to get a decent education if you are from an Anglo-Saxon country.

In this post, we’ll take a “value perspective”, meaning we won’t look at what you should study “because you find it interesting”, we’ll look at what you should study to ease the job hunting and value creation processes.

We’ll look at whether you should study at all, what you should study and where you should study.

Choosing studies is a difficult activity that will have a long-lasting impact on your life.
