Why are there so few 25-34 year olds with tertiary education? I thought about it and could only come up with the idea that most people just get their higher education later in life which seems a bit implausible. I’m just really confused as universities are free so this also can’t be a factor

  1. Because getting a fancy degree does not equal a good salary. At least not in Finland. 

  2. It’s governmental thing about the starting positions. It is still hard to get to the tertiary education. There are applicants, but limited amount of starting positions.
