Until what age is people considered young?

That's one of the things i've been thinking a lot. That, with or withouth a degree, it's hard to get a decent paying job. Maybe a degree wil give a higher chance, but not that much. I know of many people that, after getting out of college, having the best notes and grades, still don't have an idea of how hard the actual and REAL working world is. While there are others that, not having that incredibly high notes and grades, do know about the rigors of life and in the end they get a better position in working life. I have come to think college should NOT be considered the most important thing to get a good job or good income. College is, in my opinion, another tool that could be useful in life, not everything in life. I believe disciplined self-education is absolutely the best way to learn how life actually is. College will teach you things that you can't learn in other places, but that, being honest, rarely are useful in real life. Like for example, people studying programming, such as Xansus, do they really need all that math? Some even get Chemistry or other subjects that, in fact, are of little or no use whatsoever for programmers. Also, in my country the laboral market is very, very saturated of college graduates. I've been also thinking of better pick a technical career, an useful one, such as programming, hardware maintenance, economy, i don't know, something useful. I guess i exteneded myself too much, thanks for all your opinions, i believe i still have time to decide such important things.

I'm glad you're still considering studying something. From where I'm from a good plumber, refrigeration technician, electrician make more many than some professionals. But notice I said "good". Some said once, "if you dedicate to earn a living doing something you really love, you will do it very well and you will never have to work." Meaning that you won't see it as work. Good luck, you have all your life ahead of you.
