What are some solid alternatives to college/university?

Education

I'm looking for more ideas here. I'll start us out here with a few. But looking forward to hearing what you smart people have to say!  

FYI - here's my previous post on the topic - [Alternatives to university?](https://stacker.news/items/223822). I'd love some new ideas. 

- A year in Australia, on the working visa thing (https://www.australia.com/en-gb/youth-travel/working-holiday-visa/faq.html)
- Code camp. Learn coding skills somewhere, preferably in person, for engagement and meeting people
- Praxis - https://discoverpraxis.com/. Kind of like code camp, but not code, more business/life skills. It used to be that you didn't pay up front, but now looks like they're charging a more normal tuition
- A certificate from a technical college/ vocational school (plumbing, electricity, many also have tech courses)
- A chunk of time, doing low budget travel
- go to work in a cannery, in Alaska.  Hard work, earn lots of money (not through high pay, through working many hours). 

Also - it used to be pretty common for young people to travel for a year, or at least a summer, the whole "backpacking through europe" or asia, taking temporary jobs when available. I almost never hear about young people doing this nowadays. What happened?

Alternatives to university?

meta

From everything I've seen and heard in the past 10 or so years, universities have gone downhill dramatically. Almost all of them are woke, anti-male, climate crisis pushers. And that's on top of the covid insanity that they espoused, and vaccine mandates.

But the current culture is still very much set up to push competent students into university. In your average high school, it's ALL about going to university.

What are some options and ideas, for alternatives? I'll start.
- Extended travel, like backpacking abroad
- Code camp
- Trade/vocational school
